Hay all
Yes, that is the title of a Kenny Chesney song that is great to just chill too. But yesterday was anything but in sync with the lyrics of the song. We made a regular trip to Stanford (with rain 12 hours round trip) and visited with eye and BMT docs. Great visit with eye guy giving me the ok to continue my care locally as my eyes have improved since we started treatment. cGVHD and ALL are progressing nicely according to my BMT MD and we continue to monitor both closely as we all are in agreement regarding how serious both are and how quickly things can change. That being said, he did lower prednisone a little (yes!) and I am praying for continued resolution of my symptoms. My ALL at my age doesn't get the cure nod until 6-8 years out so I am fine with this and so thankful for each day (i know I am repeating that a lot but it's so true...sorry)
Laura is doing great and she is a saint now, officially, as many of you have already acknowledged:) No really she is the best and puts up with the many twists and turns I provide her with this battle. Tommy's team is in playoffs and Meghan and Katy are at Nutcracker rehearsal all the time. Don't forget to attend if you are local and there is a special performance just for oncology patients and their families on Thursday, December 11th prior to weekend performances.
Vote!
Remember how amazing our God is and treat each and everyone with respect and love...He does.
PS: it's OK to agree to disagree too:)

Hey Rich and Laura, it's Shelby. I'm back after 6 mos in Massachusetts at UMass Med Ctr in Worcester. Am returning for December and then off to U Iowa for two months. Wouln't say I'm having fun but the no call is better for my body for awhile at least.
It sounds like overall you've been going up and down a bit, riding the cancer roller coaster. Must be yucky taking the meds. I'm glad the rest of your life can be somewhat normal. By the way, I voted.
It was cold! in Mass. when I left. I expect it will be snowy when I return. Enjoy this weather, I know I don't take it for granted anymore! My cell is still the same as is my email. Blessings to you and your lovely family. Shelby and Cornel
