Update on Ross September 7, 2006

Hello everybody,
Finally, I have some good news to pass on. Ross just finished his
first round of chemo and the doctors did tests to check improvement.
The doctor said today, that Ross is healing beyond expectations. They
seem to be really encouraged by the amount of improvement Ross has had
over this first round. Because of this, they have decided to
basically double his chemo dosage beginning this Saturday. Ross is
always a little sick after the Chemo and is a little scared to find
out what double the dose will do, but is encouraged that he's "not
dieing anymore, man," as he puts it. Because it's such a heavy dose
the doctors have warned him to keep his people contact at a minimum.
It's been a tough summer down here in Kentucky, but things are at
least moving in a good direction.
I'll keep updating as news comes in.
Later,
Derrick
