    I got a call from the doctor's office the other day. It looks like, I'll be having another CT scan and a biopsy on Thursday. So Keep praying for good news. Also keep Karen and me in prayer. I went for a job interveiw yesterday. Full time office job type thing. Crazy. But sound cool. Karen is still looking and getting a bit frustrated. The wedding seems to be coming along. And that's us in a nut shell. Thanks for all the support.

    Oct. 20th, 2004 @ 09:48 pm In the words of T. Petty...
    the waiting is the hardest part. Karen and I took a visit to the Doctor's office today, of course hoping for an all clear. We didn't quite get that. What we did get is was the results of those three test back. There is still a little mass left, considerably smaller the what it was in May. All the same, something is showing up on the CT scans. So what does this mean?
    Well...there is the possibility that this is just scar tissue left over, which of course is what we're hoping for. But we want to make sure.
    Next step would be to send a needle in, get a sample and see for sure, but we have learned not to expect anything to be that easy when you deal with medi-cal. So the Doctors going to work on clearing a biopsy with Medi-cal. In the meantime we just wait. I'll be getting another CT in about a month. If it's even smaller by then, and we have yet to clear anything with Medi-cal, Then we will assume all is well and it's just scar tissue. So We wait, and we continue to pray.
    In other news... If you didn't get the hint, Karen and I are now engaged. We've set a date for February 5. We didn't want to spend to much time in that fiance period cause frankly we can't stand the word. so we went for a short engagement. It's like I always say never trust a relational label with no indication of gender differences. Well actually I don't always say that, in fact i've never said before. This is actually the first time I've ever said it. I don't think I'm gonna say it anymore. anyhoo... Goodbye!!

    Still doing well, my blood counts are a little low, But hopefully on there way back up. Feeling good and ready to work, but gonna go ahead and wait till all the test and scans are done before I jump back in. This monday I have two with one more on Wed. Results will take a little longer to get back to me. I should now by the following Wed. Thanks for all the prayers and support, keep it up. We're hoping for clear skies come Wed.

    On a different note, Found this ring in a cracker jacks box and thought I'd give it to Karen. I tried it on but it just didn't fit.

    Just a little note to let ya'll know how I'm doing
    Been out for almost two weeks now with almost no problems. I did have to go get a platlett transfusions last thursday but no sickness and I'm feeling good. Not as much energy as I would like but enough to get up and move around. So now all we can do is wait for all the scans and tests to be done and the verdict to be read.
    The Disability checks have stopped coming, so I'm gonna have to go out and find some work before all my money floats away. I am however still recieving my medical benifits so all is good. So if you have any good jobs in mind, I would love to not go back to the coffee shop.
    Hairs are coming back, slowly but surely. I even have to shave every now and then.
    Talk to you soon.

    I'm Home. The last five days in the hospital, I've been battling fevers so I'll be watching my back now that I'm home. So All and all it was my last, and it was my worst. But God willing we all done. We'll wait till we see some CT scans for the celebration.
    talk to you soon

    Sep. 20th, 2004 @ 10:40 pm 2 days to go
    Well, as we all know, the keither is in H-town. He has been having a fever every night and getting chills and all that-a side effect of one of the drugs-and has been achy as well. So, not as smooth as some other visits, but only 2 days to go. He has been "enjoying" days of tv watching, which we all know he loves, because he just doesn't feel like doing anything else. So, continued prayer on his behalf, maybe especially for physical comfort, would be a good thing. I guess that's all for now. karen.

    I'm goin in again. Tomorrow, round 5. this one is 7 days, but at the end of those 7 days is the hope of a cancer-free Keith. Finacial situation is still up in the air. More forms to fill, more begging and pleading. See ya on the other side. Good night and God bless.
