Larry's not getting any better. He took his last antibiotic today, and me I thought I was getting better but today I feel worst. I really probably should have moved my self away from Larry, but I didn't want to leave Larry by his self and I don't know were I would have went. I guess I need to get something worked out for in the future. Maybe I can find some were I can take Larry for his safety. Everyone else has to go to work, so I just don't know were that would be. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

Larry's about the same today, and I'm getting a little better today.

Thursday 27/2007

We didn't get any new news this time, because they dropped the ball on the blood work. They were suppose to do some kind of blood work up that would tell the doctor were the cancer is at on Monday before his treatment, but they didn't. The doctor was very upset about this, so the are to do it on the 4th when we go down for his second round of treatment. Larry and I have a very bad cold, and the doctor put Larry on an antibiotic to help him to get over it.
We went down to Shawn's for Christmas day, and brought Mason back home with us, and I woke up with a bad head cold and running a fever of 101 and as the day went on by I got worst. Poor Mason he didn't have his grandma to play with much. I tried to keep up with him, and grandpa couldn't help at all with him this time. We met Shawn and Beth in Columbus Thursday morning to give Mason back to them before our appointment with the doctor. It was a very bad and long day for Larry and I, because we were both very sick.

Larry has a little cold right now. I hope he don't get worst. We're going down to Shawn's house for Christmas Day. Nathan and Deb are going to take us down, this will help us to get to go. If they didn't go we could not go. We hope that everyone has a Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year.

Dec. 18/2007 Larry had a good day today. This is the medicine they are using for his treatment. Bortezomib (brand name Velcade) there maybe other brand names for this medicine, and they are also giving him this medicine Zoledronic Acid (brand name Zometa, Reclast) there maybe other brand names for this medicine. So far the treatment isn't making him sick.

Day +127

Dec. 15/2007 Thursday Larry was in so much pain that the doctor put him in the hospital for some tests. He had a MRI done on his back and it came back normal, but there was a spot on his spine that could be the cancer. The doctor wanted him to stay last night to see if they had the pain under control before they sent him home, but his insurance told the doctor that they would not pay for it so we came home. Before we came home the doctor started a new treatment on him. The cancer is growing faster, and the doctor is afraid to Wait any longer to see if the stem cell transplant is going to work. He has to go down to Columbus on Mondays and Fridays for his treatment. Larry got up today with no pain in his back, so the pain pills must have worked.

Dec. 12/2007 Larry's pain is really bad in his back today. He can't sleep or just relax tonight. I hope the doctor can tell us what's going on tomorrow.
