Greetings from Joy,

Bill had a new PIC line put in his other (right) arm today in preparation for the GVD chemo therapy tomorrow. The procedure was done in about an hour and Bill said that the removal of the old one was easy.

We are hopeful that this will be the right mix of chemo that will put a stop to the hodgkin's lymphoma and then allow Bill do start the stem cell transplant protical.

When we went to the Cleveland Clinic Bill found out about a follow on trial that he may be a candidate for. If that looks promising perhaps he will end up doing the stem cell transplant up at the Cleveland Clinic
instead of the Cincinnati Jewish Hospital. There are several other things that need to happen and unfold before we cross that bridge. (hum, that is a Bill saying if there ever was one)

For now please keep Bill in your prayers. Seeing the chemo therapy being installed with Divine Intelligence targeting the cells that are not of benefit to Bill's Body. Also seeing his healthy red and white blood cells able to rejuvinate with ease in harmony with the chemo therapy.

We are planning a low key Thanksgiving with the four of us and the NEW BUTTERBALL TURKEY FRYER!!!Its suppose to be safe? and easy to use. Bill who in the past never had time to watch TV was quite taken by the turkey fryer infomercial and so when it looked like it was something he wanted I told him to go for it!
Ha ha ha and so the adventure of turkey frying is before us.

Thank You for all of your prays and well wishes.
