Chappy,

Glad to see you are trying to keep your spirits up, it has to be tough.  I have went through the ordeal with other friends and I know how hard it can be.  Hang in there, we are all keeping you in our prayers. Perhaps a bunch of us could ride up your way when the weather clears, late spring I'm sure.

Keep us all informed, we are an extension of family.

God Bless

Dude, you are a true Warrior. All the chit you have been though and now another Doctor has come and gone. Sam my friend you are my hero, I had a brain tumor the size of my fist over 28 years ago and I know I did not handle it as good as you do. You are truly Blessed with some special powers that not many people have. I bet you have a way with people too. You are in my 9:30 prayers.

Your Friend,
Chris

Just stopped in to say hello Chap, I think about you everyday. After you beat this thing I hope you are strong enough for that ride. You know the ride across the US to see everyone and take a short ride with each of us. Man, you better get your rest, your going to be busy. See you soon.

You Friend,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I think of you and all the others that take time to shoot me a word.
I check morning and night, and even time to time my cell phone for e-mail notices (when I can figure it out that is).  Your words to me have become one of a few sources that I draw from. Especially when I'm at an appointment waiting to see the different Doc I have. I head to Concord Hospital in a few minutes. I should find out if they are willing to give me radiation. Is, GREAT!!  If not, not so good.
I'll let you know something tonight.

Have a great day all
Sam

Hi Sam,  This morning I'll hope and pray for any good news you may receive today, either way though it's in Gods hands. Illness and suffering is the worst and also the very times that we give it up to God.

I'll be waiting for your news, Mike

Good evening,
more like good morning here in the est,

Thanks for the well wishes all!
My Doc appointment went OK, I guess.
The VA failed to get all my info there, but, that's OK.
My wife Sue has done a very complete folder with everything in it.
The Doc was so impressed he asked to use it as his info until the VA stuff gets to him.

He gave me a very close once over and said that I should go ahead with the scheduled chemo for Mon, Tue, and Wed at the Vermont VA next week. He told me that he should have a decision if he'll start radiation on me by the end of next week. If it's a go, I should be able to start radiation sometime the week of Feb 8th. I was hoping for an answer today, but, half wondered if it could be pulled off. I'm OK with the additional wait and I think I'm getting better at waiting with each week that passes. Well, not really!  lol

The ride to Concord Hospital was such an easy ride compared to Boston. Very relaxed and the best part is, I have a few different ways I can go. So it's not the long but rushed ride either.

It's been 18 days since my first round of chemo on Jan 11 & 12. I was given lots of little booklets to read and didn't read them. Maybe I should have so I would have been more ready for today. I woke up this morning with hair all over my pollow case. Took my shower and hair was coming out by the clumps. I knew I'd lose my hair, but what really surprized me was, I didn't know that my scalp would hurt. I'm not bald yet, but it seems that's what's coming. I gave my hair to locks of love a while back, so my hair isn't really long now, but it's not as thick either now either. I'll have to get a photo of the hair loss progress. I'm not sure how long it takes to go bald, maybe I'll dig out the booklets and take a look and see.

All and all, it looks as though I have another week to get by before I have any real news.
I'm going to chew this for a while and try to have a good weekend. I hope the weekend is great for all of you. Those that are riding, please enjoy it for the both of us. Windy and cold here, spring is only 2 months away. Can hardly wait.

your friend
Sam

Everytime I read about your journey I am proud to be able to say a prayer for you.  Keep your will power up, as you said spring is really just around the corner.  I am glad your DR. is going forward with the treatments.
