To end this on a positive note, my progress is coming pretty good.  My tumor marker in my blood has dropped from 14,000 to 20.  At two it is considered clinically dead.  I have lost all of my hair, some weight, half of my red blood cells, and a good bit of white ones too.  I apparently have two more cycles to look forward to, along with blood transfusions and a surgery that consists of an eight inch incision through my abdomen.  But, it is under control and I am going to live to fight another day.  The doctors even said that I will make a full recovery and be ready to compete again in the fall of 2009.  That is a long way off, but it is what I really am beginning to miss throughout this whole thing.  I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to compete.

 

God Bless,

Adam Frey
