Another turn in the road

Two weeks ago I was admitted to Marin General Hospital to deal with intractable pain associated with the metastasis to my spine. Five days ago I was transferred to Kentfield Rehab Hospital for further recovery. This latest turn in the road is due to compression fractures after the tumor was radiated. The radiation is complete and I am mending and the next goal is restarting chemotherapy soon. I've had a wonderful team of physicians, family, friends, nurses, and therapists helping me to achieve that goal. Unfortunately, some of the effects of the fractures have left me with weakness in my hands, so updates may be brief for awhile. As a matter of fact, my brother (Bob) is typing this right now and my wife is dictating as well. I am not responsible for anything you read after this last sentence . . . please continue your prayers and support; they mean so much to all of us.
Peace,
Don
