Hello! Its September 2007 and I'm going along singing a song. Life is good. We are now going through our third clinical trial to fight this thing called a glioblastoma tumor of the brain. This treatment involves IV treatments with Avastin in combination with Temozolomide. We have a great team at MD Anderson and every confidence they are doing their best for us.
There are actually three of these tumors, but they have not grown very much and we have learned to get along well. Actually, having them gives me a good excuse to be a little forgetful and to somehow not hear Pat when she asks me to do chores around the house. See, there's a silver lining in every cloud.
I am back to work at Conroe High School, best school in the US of A and filled with wonderful students and staff. I couldn't ask for a better place to work. I am now the math coach at Conroe High.
If you look closely at the picture enclosed, you'll see that Pat has been trying to cut my hair. Yup, I put a cereal bowl on my head; Pat runs the electric clippers over my head and wahoo I look like John-Boy on the Waltons! Its only hair.
Thanks for all your prayers and many kindnesses. I am a lucky man.
Mike
