  1. "Went to PT today - they compared my progress from 2 months ago when I started today, and lots of progress been made - but we still have long ways to go. On 26th - I get new round of blood test and meet with doctor, so am hoping the positive trend continues --this is marathon - not sprint - matter of fact my trainer said we have outside chance in march to ski with grand kids - I'm not so sure, my. first goal is to quit using my cain. My balance has improved and mobility."

  2. "Had Doctor and blood work completed at Fairview Health in Mpls. The CBC keeps showing improvements in blood ratios -Dr. is happy with results - now next visit is 90 days away. The side effects are kicking my butt - are improving little bits every week -Best thing I have done is getting PT here in Brainerd and that has helped a lot - I keep praying for improvements and get close to my pre-cancer stage --I doubt I will be able to ski this winter with grand kids - my legs not near enough strong enough - but I can go to ski place and help them put on their boots and what not (along with buy treats when they. come into warm up."

      woo hoo! How great to hear that your doctor is pleased with your CBC results! I'm happy to hear that PT is helping relieve your side effect symptoms a bit too. It sounds like you will be enjoying time with your grand kids even more, even if you have to postpone skiing for a while. Thanks for the update. I've been wondering how you're doing. Cheering you on for a full recovery!

      So happy to hear this news, my friend! The side effects unfortunately may be a thing. I'm over 5 years and the remnants of issues are there, but in time hopefully, the more rampant issues will subside. Congrats and best!
