HA!
Wage pops his head out from the other side...
We knew you'd make it, happy to hear things are headed in the right direction.
And you still have that RDW optimism, 'only 54 days'...
Hang in there Robert, keep us updated when you can.
Cheers! - Thanks,
jim

My transplant got "moved-up" a week to August 1st. The doctor's are trying to push this through because I have been "waiting" so long that they are concerned about the disease progressing.
So, as of today, I have 38-days until I head East for Nashville!
Thanks for reading!

Dan, that little banner over your pic is very much appreciated. That's an act-of-kindness that was unexpected but means the "world" to me! It's very easy to think, when you're sick like me, that the world just goes-on without you... never missing a beat. But you have proven that it just isn't so! Thanks for that!
The truth is, I am nervously counting-down the days! It seems kinda "morbid" for me to seem anxious, but I am actually ready to get this "Done" and "Over-with!" I am really hoping that this transplant will work and I can get back to a somewhat life of "Normalcy!" If there is such a thing.
Thanks again for that nice gesture of encouragement and thoughtfulness.

Down to 31 days and I'm feeling SO MUCH BETTER lately! I am so glad my Doctor saw fit to stop the Chemo and give me a chance to recover a bit. I have had so much chemo, since I originally was diagnosed, that I can't remember what it feels like to be ...... "uh hem..... Normal?"
My health has had it's "ups and downs." I remember it got so good at one point, I actually contemplated going back to work.... that, of course, was a short-lived fantasy...
I talked to the Travel Coodinator today and I made the arrangements for my Sister's Airline tickets. My Sister is blessing me with the gift of her Stem-Cells this time. She is "completely healthy" and I am confident that THIS transplant will work! When my Doctor's talk about these transplants, they refer to it as..... "Curative Treatment." This is encouraging to me. Fighting cancer has monopolized so much of my time and energy, that I have stopped doing the things I really enjoy..... (like playing golf). I'm ready for some normalcy!
I would like to thank each one of you who took the time to read my little blog during this ordeal. Your kindness is not taken lightly nor will it be forgotten!
Thanks for reading

Hi Wage,
Keep thinking positive!
"Everything you ask and pray for, believe that you have it already, and it will be yours."That quote comes from the bible - Mark 11:24
Best wishes. :cheesy:

Hello Wage. This is the first time i read your blog here. You know, allways come here for support and back to the chair. But your "experience" is working things on readers like me and in my case is doing so to remember me that there are things apart from work, like life for instance.
The thing is that i work on health communitcation and see cancer cases everyday, try to get better prices from doctors and medicines to patients, and more patients for doctors. But the truth is that aside all technology and knowledge, without the correct spirit and attitude, we are nothing.
I will talk about this blog and you to all the people i can, and tell them how brave you are and the way your story have touched my life, and i hope that, when you get better, if you have a chance, you can come to Panama and share.
All the best for you, your family and all the people here at RT.
Luis

Thanks Luis for your kind words. It has been a very-long ordeal for me. I am heading to Nashville with the "positive mindset" that this transplant will work! It HAS to work! It's NOT my time to go! I have way too much left to accomplish with my life!
Thanks again!

Well, I'm down to 20 days until I leave for the transplant. It's amazing! There's a saying that says, "A watched pot never boils!" I kinda think there's a lot of truth to that! I got so busy getting everything together for my transplant, I quit keeping track of the count-down. Now, all of the sudden, I only have 20-days left! That's less than 3 weeks.... and now I am really getting nervous.
Thanks for all the encouraging comments during this period. It meant a lot to me!
