It's been a while!

And it's been a while for a reason - there is really nothing new to report. I can relate details of what I have done since the last post - but it consists of meeting with friends and being with family at various sporting events, at activities, at dinners, etc. Nothing of any medical significance has happened.

On Wednesday, I will start week 19 of photophoresis with - maybe - some little improvement having been realized over the first 18 weeks. Some days I really think so, other days I am not quite so sure.

Doctors visits are now at the three month interval time frame. My medications have remained the same for a year now. Nothing new appears to be on the horizon.

Lastly, it will be three years on the 29th since I was diagnosed with leukemia. Thank God the disease is in full remission and I have had these three years with the prospect of having many more.

I guess that I am politely saying that I think that it is time for me to bring this endeavor to an end. Google now has statistics so that I can see how many people have actually accessed this blog. Over the past year or so, the number has not been staggering. As readership has declined (and with good reason), it does not seem worthwhile to continually report a status quo of no new developments.

So after over 750 postings, I am making this my last one.

I wish to thank all of you who have supported me over the past three years with cards, phone calls, visits, etc. It has meant a lot to me and brought me to where I am today. I am so grateful and so blessed to have a wide circle of friends and a supporting family - I know of many others who have not been so fortunate.

So thank you again. Good bye and may God bless you everyone...
