This disease has the ability to rule your life. I would never believe how tired you get and more importantly how it has the ability to take you down emotionally.
In the past 3 weeks I have been in the hospital at least 3 times and have felt like I should have been in even more. The one thing that has been consistant is the support from family and friends
each and every day. I stopped writting but many of you have continued to write each and every day of the week.
Cancer seems to get joy out of playing with your emotions. You must battle it every moment of every day because once it gets into your feelings it takes twice as much energy to keep up the positive battle.
I will continue to fight. I am starting new Chemo on Monday 7/16 and will stay on that for a few weeks. The doctors want this Chemo to get me ready for some new experimental Chemo.
Each morning I wake and start the battle over again with the support of all of you and the work that the doctors are doing I have the tools that will help me win this battle.
I will try to write more often.
Looking forward till tomorrow
Love to all
Mark

Mark and Nicki,
We learned about your situation recently and have been thinking of you a lot.
This morning I read through the blog from the beginning to today. It was reactivating for me (I had cancer 26 years ago). It was a reminder for me on what is really important in life (which I forget every once in awhile). It was inspirational for me to appreciate the power of love, family, and friends.
I know you appreciate emails from others, but reading yours do as much, if not more, for us.
God bless you and your wonderful family.
Love,
Krys Amdurer
Mark: Great to see your latest post. Hope your new chemo goes well. All your tennis buddies miss you and are keeping you in thier thoughts and prayers. We are very proud of the fantastic effort you have made to battle this horrific disease. You are a great role model. I'm sure your efforts will be rewarded.
George & and your many friends at The Field Club
Hi Mark,
I wrote this morning but it didn't get posted, I probably did something wrong, so I'm trying again. It was so good to see you writing. No one could possibly blame you for feeling down, you're certainly entitled. I keep repeating what was on the card Rona sent you, When you're going through hell...Keep Going. I heard you sat outside yesterday and Molly was there swimming. These are the little things in life that are not so little. Mike and I check the blog often and we were so glad to see you on it this morning. We truly think of you every minute of every day. Good luck with the new chemo.
Love,
Karen, Mike, Ian and Mitchell
