Good thing my gas won't go bad. RIP Kevin

Another update. This very well could be the last update I get to make. On day 45 of the transplant we got some preliminary results back on a skin biopsy. It showed positive for leukemia acutes. I have 100s of lesions that have popped out on my skin with the fevers over the last 3 weeks. The problem with it coming to the skin is it has to have an internal source for that to be. They urged me to go home for the weekend because I didn't have to be back until the tomorrow the 19th. I got a call this morn from them asking if I still wanted to keep the appointment for tomorrow. I told them if it was only to hear what to expect and the same thing they were telling me on the phone, no need to make a 200 mile trip. They have decided that more marrow biopsy or lumbar puncture would just be added suffering. I have already had more chemo and radiation than the average bear. At this point I'm not strong enough to take more and it will not help any way. Tomorrow, hospice is coming to the house to take over at this point. I have prayed for healing but, I have also ask the Lord's will be done. I realize it's not over yet and I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP. At the same time, I have been preparing as I have kinda felt like it may turn out like this. I really want to thank all of you that remember my family and I. We still need it very much or more now than ever. Depending on how things go, I may be able to update again. At one time, I had showed my wife how to get on here and give folks an answer if it happens. If she can't, you will eventually figure it out. I hope to see all in a better place someday.

May the Lord bless you all,
Kevin

[Old Fogey]

Lost for words, my friend!

Terrible result after the way you (and your family) have fought and fought and fought........

If it turns out this way, I hope the time you have left is free from as much pain and suffering as possible. You deserve that at the very least.

If you can, leave an email address so that we can contact your wife, just in case.

Wow, not what I wished, hoped and prayed for, Kevin. I believe God is a healer. Our wish is for you to be healed here and now. I will continue to pray for you. I am amazed at your poise in the wording of this update. I have really appreciated your contributions here, both with your bike and your illness. May the Lord give you wisdom in the coming days as you deal with your family and loved ones.

It is, I believe, a gift to be able to have some choice in how we make our final exit. To gather family and friends, settle olds debts, affirm relationships. Godspeed brother. We'll meet up on the north end.
