What day(s) are you going to be at Infineon? I was thinking of riding up there Friday as I did last year. Saturday and Sunday are booked.

Hi Tom,

I get all the updates on Facebook too. You are in my prayers daily and I am so happy to hear that you are, to quote a phrase I learned recently, really giving this thing "a punch in the pants"!

All the best to you and yours,

Cliff

I'm also glad to hear the great progress, Tom! Been another busy few weeks for me, so apologies for not posting up the updates as I had been doing.

Assume that no news is good news, folks! Although I'd like to be able to post every update, I haven't been on the forum much lately.

Regards,

Glad to hear the good progress Tom, I got a clean check up today myself. The Docs have turned me loose until September.

An update from Lynda:

The magic number is 33. That's the upper limit of normal for the tumor marker test. Tom found out today that his last test result is 33.5!!!! The next test will be done on May 20 when he goes in for his next Oncology Clinic appointment; he will find out then what the continuing treatment plan will be. The PET Scans are done at Stanford every 3 months; the last one was in March.

In the meantime, Tom is enjoying life to the fullest, as they say. He has some upcoming trips planned over the next few months: motorcycle show at Infineon Raceway, fishing trip with his father & brother, and family reunion in New York.

Tom, we're sooooo proud of you!!!!!

Tom is kicking some ASS!! He's my hero.

Great news Tom!!! I think I'll crack a cold one and have toast to you. I won't be making the rally but I'm trying to connect with an old biker buddy of mine in Santa Cruz in September. If I get down that way instead of him coming north we should together for a brew at Alice's.

Tom posted the following on Facebook today ... Absolutely AWESOME news!

NO MORE CHEMO! NO MORE TREATMENTS! DOCTOR'S HAVE BEEN AMAZED AT MY REMARKABLE PROGRESS. NOW IT'S TIME TO JUST MONITOR ME FOR A WHILE. BLOOD TESTS MONTHLY, AND A CT SCAN EVERY 3 MONTHS. WE'LL SEE IF THIS TUMOR IS REALLY, REALLY DEAD. IT'S BEEN A LONG 8 MONTH BATTLE. THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT. MIRACLES DO HAPPEN.


Way to fight the good fight, Tom!!! Look forward to meeting you in person some day!

Best Regards,
