I saw Dr. Doty Saturday night at his home. He and Cathy were hosting our Sunday School class kickoff party. We watched the movie "Inherit the Wind" for discussion the next morning.
He said he and LeMaistre agreed we may do as many as 4 more R-ICE chemos here in Austin (for a total of 6) before starting stem cell transplant (SCT) in San Antonio. He said the goal of SCT was to "step on the last cockroach." Consequently, we will "kill as many as we can here - as long as the bug spray we are using is working and as long as the bug spray we are using doesn't kill me, too." Dr. Doty has certainly mastered the art of communication!
I have a PET scan tomorrow. Next Monday we see Dr. LeMaistre and then spend the rest of the day with his staff. I think that will be SCT Class. Next Tuesday we see Dr. Doty (to discuss PET scan results) before starting chemo #3. I will post new info by Wednesday of next week.

I think the chemo country club staff just don't want to miss your smiling face!
Praying hard!
Love, Kathy
So great to find your blog and see your smiling face, as well as Brady Lynn's.
Ron and I are praying for you, and I thank God every day for your sister being a match.
We love you and all of the family so much. Linda and Ron
