I know, it has been a while since I've posted an update - sorry... been lazy : )
Happy New Year everyone! Thank God we're able to share 2011.
Getting close to a significant milestone: today (1/13/11) I am 7-days shy of [100-days] after my stem-cell transplant. Since October, every week has been progressive. I'm getting my strength back - not as fatigued throughout the day as was the case the first month or so after I got out of the hospital. I've gain my body weight back and feeling pretty good. Last week I went through the usual battery of tests and scans; Blood, PET, CT, Heart, Lungs, & Bone-marrow... Everything looks great! Now I'm getting back to a more normal diet and started exercising more.
Here is a picture of my primary cancer care doctor at City of Hope:
Robert W. Chen, M.D. - A great guy who has been very patient with me : )
. . . Thank you Dr. Chen!

Here is a quick pic of Nurse Practicioner, Kerri and me. Good blood-work results. : ) >
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.
Blessings to you.
