"Have a Great Summer..."

Just a quick post to let you know it will not be a "great summer" despite all the times I (CJ) have heard this in the past few days as school has ended.... We had a very informative meeting at Johns Hopkins on Thursday afternoon.  While we are still looking into second opinions, it seems clear that in the last five weeks the cancer has grown in size and intensity.  We're probably looking at 2-3 rounds of heavy duty chemo, a period of recovery, and then a bone marrow transplant.  No firm dates or details yet. Stay tuned and keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  This will not be fun.

    We were saddened to hear the report that you got yesterday at Johns Hopkins. You have been in our hearts and minds all through this. We want you to know that we will continue to be fervent in our prayers as you go through this next cycle. We have admired your perseverance and trust in the Lord. We know that God will give you the further strength you need to continue this journey. Love, Eric & Joyce

    We are so sorry - we all have been praying for you daily and will continue to do so. We will be back in town next week and maybe Ev can come to the pool with us? Love, the Taliaferros

    I was encouraged hearing what Ross' partner's wife Christine said... that this is still very very treatable. Looking forward to giving AJ and you a big hug in MI. love to you all

    So sorry to hear that this summer will bring a new intensity to the treatments, which Andrew has bravely endured so far. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we stand ready to help if there's anything practical you need or want -- kids can come to stay with us, or whatever else...It may brighten your week to join the Formerly in Kenya party June 30 from 3-6pm if you are up for it. I'll be sending out the emails shortly....Love, Sonya and John and the boys
