Well I just had a visit with the doctor today. He told me things are looking pretty good so far and that I still need to get a PET scan done on July 7th. He also told me on Tuesday to call the Ephrata cancer center to setup appointments to receive a drug called Brentuximab Vedotin. It has the same common side effects as the other drugs I was receiving like hair loss, nausea and etc. I also have to take a drug called Acyclovir, which is an anti-viral drug for a year as well as the Brentuximab Vedotin. The Acyclovir has to be taken twice a day for the whole year. The Brentuximab has to be taken once every three weeks for a year. The Brentuximab Vedotin will increase my chances greatly in preventing the cancers return and making the STEM cell treatment more of a success. So things are moving along it seems far as my treatment. Just taking things a day at a time as things go. Soon going to be working more again as well as the doctor cleared me for working from home. Also having to stay safe and confining myself to my home till the doctor says otherwise. Which I know many of you are experiencing now. Though I can guarantee yous its nothing like this. As I been quarantined since the week of Christmas and still no signs of returning to the public fully till maybe September area. Luckily I am allowed outside and can interact with a very small group of people if they are not sick and not touching me. Other than that, thoughts of going to the movies or bowling or any other major thing with a lot of people are out of the question like restaurants and civil war reenactments and other fun activities with a lot of people involved. Though I will find a way to work through it, though playing games and watching movies or listening to music all the time does get tired some after awhile, but still trying to push through. I can say its definitely been quite the bump in the road far as my life. More of a bump that I ever experienced and sometimes can get very depressing to work through, but I try to pull through it the best I can. As I don't know about many of yous out there, but I want to pull through to be there for my family when they are in need and to do many things with them when possible. Cause if its one thing I learned quickly about life is that no one knows when their time will come, but till that time comes. I'm going to do what I can to enjoy life and those I interact with in my life. Hope everyone is safe and is staying safe. Hopefully soon things will get better and we can kind of go to a slight normal again. I'll continue to try and keep all posted as I have the Brentuximab Vedotin and about further doctor visits and information as it comes. As from what I have been told that I will be monitored closely for a good few years even after all this is done to make sure that I'm still in the clear of things.

To any and new readers of this information. You can look at my many post journal posts about all of this. As I been posting things as time went on how things were progressing with my discovery and treatment of my cancer.
