Hi Everyone! Last Update For a Couple Of Days!
Thank you to everyone for continued support in ways of cards and food etc., etc. I really appreciate everything. Not to much news as of right now. It is Wednesday night and I am going to start to pack my duffle bag with supplies for my next tour to H.U.P. I learned a lot from my first tour, I had my family bring to much stuff. I don't need all the things I had before at the hospital. Too much stuff. Pack light, pack right. Undies, T-shirts, a few pajama pants, toiletries, magazines, a book, (and a fiance if she will fit into the duffle.) :) This next round of chemo is going to be different than the first round I recieved because the goal of my particular treatment is to shock the cancer each time before the cancer becomes immune to the treatments. So from now on my treatments will be alternated to continually shock and kill this crap. I meant cancer, sorry it was a typo. I will be at H.U.P. for 5 to 6 days depending on how the schedule works out and when I exactly begin the first bag of treatment. This particular round of treatments might be a little rougher as far as side effects are concerned so says the doctor. He warned me that this is most likely when all of my head hair will fall out and I also might have more severe nausea than before. Fun, fun, fun. Oh well. One thing at a time. Two of the biggest mottos in my life have been and will forever be, 1. Improvise, Overcome, and Adapt. And that means to whatever happens, apply those three words. And 2. Whatever does not kill me, only makes me stronger. I'm giving you pearls here. Words to live by, words to live by. Well, goodnight to all my family and friends out there. I will be back on as soon as possible with further updates. If I am unable, Daphne and Mom will update on my behalf from the family sitting room at the hospital that has a computer for patient and family use. Goodnight. Talk to you all soon. Wish me luck. KILL THE CANCER! DOWN WITH LYMPH NODES!

I think using the word "crap" was too mild. If I could, I would say: get in there and kill the #%$^#%$ $%#$^#$@! There! I said it! Good luck, Rich! We're all here behind you! Hope that you will pull from our strength when you need it.
Much love and prayers,
Us
PS: I never read THAT verse from Dr. Seuss to my kids!
Richard,
Praying for you as you begin your next round of chemo...May God give you grace for every step of the way!
Love,
Jennifer
