2/08/10 Well two more weeks and we will be in Boston Joe and I are both very anxious. Joe will go through all the same test he went through for his evaluation including the bone marrow which he is dreading. We will be there for three days of testing come home on Thursday and wait for the phone call on Friday which will give us the news if he is in remission. We are hoping and praying for a complete response so Joe will not have to continue with any treatment. Joe will have to be tested again in August and than again every year after that. There is no cure for Amyloidosis so it can come back at anytime but hopefully not for many years. We both realize this is our life now and we are living each day to its fullest. We can't let the things we can't control run our lives. We have wonderful family and friends that love us and we love them, we have our faith and everything else will work its self out. Joe has been feeling pretty good these last couple of weeks, he looks good his hair has grown in darker. His blood work came back good this last time his triglycerides are down to 197. The shingles pain is just about gone. Well keep praying, God Bless all of you, we love you and I will let you know what the news is when we get it.
