Doris,
From some one who has been thru the chemo and radiation for cancer,
you know
that he will be in my prayers. It's a long haul and seems like they
almost
kill you to cure you. He'll be sick, but the good Lord has a way of making
things better in the end.
I have made it now thru three years cancer free and I do pray that he will
be able to do the same.
Hugs to both of you.

Michael's cancer has progressed and he will start Chemo on
Monday,
November 8, 2010. His diagnosis has changed from Chronic Lymphatic
Leukemia to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma with sub-type Marginal Zone Lymphoma.
(Marginal Zone Lymphoma is found in less than 7% of all Lymphoma type
cancers.)
The cancer is mainly in the Lymphatic System and no sign has been found
outside the Lymph Nodes & blood. This is very good and means the cancer is
still in the early stages, but has become aggressive.
While the prognosis is good, we will have to see how well he can tolerate
the treatment. His immune system will be at the lowest during the upcoming
Cold & Flu season, so he will have to be extra careful when around anyone,
including me, that has anything that he could catch.
The treatment plan is for one treatment every three weeks for a total of
six treatments over then next 18 weeks. (The plan could change after the
first couple of treatments, depending how well he does.)
Please remember us in your prayers. Will try to keep you updated as I have
the spare time for the computer.
Doris and Michael Robbins
