Update Jan. 14, 2007

Well I must apologize for such a late health update….. it is hard to believe that
Christmas and New Year have passed.  

It has been a very difficult time for me. The new trial turned out to be too
complicated as the side effects were intolerable – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
heartburn, anemia and jaundice.  Yes there was growth which put pressure on the
bile duct which caused jaundice. I got a stent put in last week and the jaundice is
clearing up.  I will be getting a blood transfusion on Tuesday to rectify the anemia.
Needless to say I am off the trial.

I will be resuming my old regime starting on Jan. 22nd between Roswell Park and the
Juravinski Centre.  I am hoping to gain some strength and confidence to cope with
that regime.  

I wish I had better news to start the New Year with.  There are not any other
developments. I will keep you posted on a more regular basis.

Take care and may this year be a good one for all….
