Back To The East Coast…With a Little Detour

I’ve had a great time being back home in California… It was awesome to see my family and reconnect with many friends. My roommate Jules came home with me and the two of us stayed at Mitch and Jan Baird’s house. We had a blast staying at the Bairds, Jan you’re the best! It was just what the doctor ordered.

I’m flying back to the East Coast right now. I have a twenty four hour layover in Omaha Nebraska, although there’s not a lot to do in Omaha, I’m looking forward to eating at “Famous Dave’s” again. This place has the best barbequed food I’ve ever had in my life!

Tuesday evening at The Comedy & Magic Club was unbelievable, I laughed so hard. What surprised me even more is how many people came and showed their support, it was sold out! I want to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this evening possible. Especially, Mike Lacey, you’re the most generous and sincere person I have ever met. You bless so many people, I feel honored to know you.

I’ve been experiencing some nagging side effects as a result of PDX, the worst is nose bleeds. Not little nose bleeds, profuse bleeds that last up to 45 minutes. Its summer and I have the inability to wear light colored clothes! :-) There are a couple of other side effects that are not severe, but also need to be addressed. Dr. O’Connor is on vacation until late this month and my parents and I have a meeting with him on August 1st. The plan is to address these issues and decide whether I should pursue another treatment regimen with less severe side effects while maintaining stabilization and spread of the disease. However, if we can get the side effects sorted out, I’ll go forward and continue with the current treatment. There is a small possibility that I will be able to resume my treatment in California. I just want to be where God wants me. Please pray for wisdom.

Thank you again for all your prayers and support.

Fighting 2 Win,
