The Final

Happy Holidays!



Well we finally have all the pieces put together for our next forever.......what? As the title of my last post said "Moving On" that's what we are doing. SCCA/Hutch contacted Ret and asked her to be part of the clinical trial and as expected she declined. That's OK, she's feeling great all her numbers have come in perfect so she's going to give it a go as they say "bareback". No support.



We met with her primary yesterday and got a great Christmas present and that is we can now start our monthly check ups instead of weekly. In addition her breast biopsy's came back negative so better yet. So from now on it's blood draws once a month and Zometa treatments for her acute Osteoporosis and that should be it. Obviously the monthly blood draws are to monitor her condition to make sure the cancer doesn't return. We don't at this point have plan to institute a long term drug therapy to control her condition but again we'll monitor that monthly to evaluate and determine our options.



So for all you unlucky folks, that truly cared for Ret, you won't have to put up with my babble any longer. NOW THERE'S A CHRISTMAS PRESENT!



Actually as I have said many times, you really can't imagine how much your love and support helped get Ret through this extremely difficult time. There are way to many of you to single out, but safe to say you all played a very critical role in her success and for that we are truly indebted and blessed. May the holidays bring you and your families great joy and the new year great success!



With great admiration and humility-

Love

Ret & Jack

  1. Lauretta and Jack: This is great news -- what a nice Christmas present. You both toughed it out, through dicey moments and long periods of worry and uncertainty. You have earned enormous admiration from your friends for your courage and commitment. I look forward to seeing you in 2010. All the best. Bob. (Merry Christmas!)
