PhilDog: The last time I saw you, I told you that you looked great. Granted, I was not under oath nor did I sign anything under penalty of perjury. But I ain't lying! Keep plugging away. We'll keep our fingers crossed for a positive effect from next DLI.
Pokorny, out.
Phil, Not only are you handsome but a sharp dressed man!!! Your post brings me to tears as I recently edited John’s response to The Picture of Dorian Gray… Your writing always captures me and leaves a lasting imprint. I sure wish I had the words right now to describe how loved you are but hope you feel it with every part of your body. God bless you dear friend. Xoxo
Hi Phil. We'll be cheering on the hungry legion of T cells as they gobble up the bad guys like an army of PAC-MEN. Munch, munch, munch... now, what's for lunch?!! All the very best in this next round. P.S. Whoever said you were short? Love, Jim and Renée
I hate your disease more than the one that is laboring to kill me. There are the strong and the weak and you certainly belong in the first tribe. Shit does indeed happen, but so do love, miracles and family. OK, so you've hit a quadruplicate. You are still here and still fighting with the loving support of those who care about you. You already hit the right note: "...and just enjoying life." Feel free to adopt my mantra: "Every morning is a good morning."
“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go”.
I give you back some Oscar Wilde!
. Your summaries are rich in medical speak, humor and the truth about some sharp edges.
Life is rich with all kinds of miracles; I think you know this.
Your cousin, Ann
Hi there Phil. This is Paul Psychas, here with Marjatta. We really appreciate getting your updates as you go through all this. The grit, the insight and understanding that comes across in your posts are execptional. Here's hoping each step in the treatment keeps buying you more time and quality of life. Love from Lusaka to you and the family.
Thank you, Phil. Like the other folks that have logged a comment we truly look forward to your updates. Not only to know how you are doing (as we talk about you and think about you often) but to be educated on this grueling-sounding process. We commend you on SO many levels....the ability to extend yourself during this time speaks to your solid character and strength. We realize we don't "know the entire picture" but we're grateful nonetheless. Blessings to you and your family.
I comprehend 90% of your journal article and retain approximately 3%. however the major take away is your incredibly strong determination. Keep it up, buddy.
