The start of new chemothrtapy

This morning I started a new chemotherapy treatment. It is administered by infusion with a new drug just approved last summer for the use of my kind of cancer. Initially it has had very positive results. We were actually at the cancer center for 4+ hours but hope in the future that it will only take about 3 hrs. Nancy says that I slept through most of the infusion. So far I haven't felt any side effects. I was given an anti nausea medication in conjunction with the infusion. We pray that there won't be any ill effects tonight.

Thank you for your continued faith, love & support.

  8. Mike,
    I thought you would want to know that we have close to 1000 students attending classes in the downtown this semester. We continue to work on plans for the Fisher building and plan to have more students in there by fall!
    Thanks for all of your support. You and your family are in our thougths and prayers.
