Well for the past 3 weeks my goal has been to get strong and put on weight. Well with the help of a drug my doctor gave me I have gained 3 pounds and am getting stronger every day. I have cut down on the methadone pain killer and have much more strength. For the first time in 4 months I have gone out with Nicki and it was not to go to the hospital or doctor. What a relief. That in itself made me feel so good.
So this week I go for the PET scan and CAT scan and get ready for new treatment next week. We are excited and feel very positive about the new drug.
It makes me so happy writing this and feeling good. Once again thanks for all of the e mails, cards and calls. I am sure all of your positive energy has helped me get stronger.
Looking forward till tomorrow
Love
Mark

Hi Mark,
Good luck with your new chemo starting today.
There was a very interesting report on the Early show on CBS this morning. It was about radio waves that are being used to treat cancer cells. The investigators feel it's very promising.
We're sending positive, hopeful energy to you and all your doctors and all the researchers.
Love,
Karen
