I went to the Doctor yesterday and found out the cancer is slowly coming back. When it was found in early 2005 it was measured as a 10 and I am now at 6. I do not know how far up the scale goes, but I do know it can not be measured below a 5.
The Doctor is making arrangements for me to go to University hospital in Iowa city to see if I qualify for a stem cell implant. They will check me out and answer all my questions that I have a ton of.
If we or they decide not to do it there are still options to treat it with other medicines until hopefully a cure is found.

Just remember Kenn,

that's just what it is. Another round. Get back up there and fight him again. You know this opponent he hasn't beat you yet. So stay strong and keep on fighting. You know if there is ever anything you need, you have a whole neighborhood here who cares about you a lot. Need someone to do your chores around the house, to shovel your walks, you just holler and we'll send Ned right over. Seriously Kenn, if you need anything, it's just a post away. God bless you, pal.

Moving right along

Thanks for the support and yes Jeff the fight is on.
I received a call from University Hospital yesterday afternoon and I have a appointment for the 16th.
They will answer my questions and give me their opinion on how to proceed. Then the decision is mine to make and having the facts sure will help.
