Last Weekly Oftumamab Treatment! 12/1/10


This is the Oncology Gang (at least the ones there that day!) Dr. Litton is the one with the huge smile. Oh how grateful we are for Greg Litton. He has been Jim's Oncologist for about nine years now and has become more of a dear friend then "doctor." He calls occasionally just to check up on Jim at home. It is so wonderful having medical providers that have faith and listen to the spirit.
The last weekly treatment went very well. The next Oftumamab will be in four weeks. Jim continues to take Revlimid orally every day and is getting stronger every single day. Oh, by the way--he was up six pounds.
Thank you Dr. Litton, Dr. Nibley, Shirley, Anne, Michael, Bruce, Pat, Stephanie, Ann, Lisa, Deuce, Stef and all the office staff. Did I forget anyone? Thanks for making hard things less difficult. Thanks for believing in miracles with us. Thanks for shedding tears with us both happy and sad. Thanks for your tenderness, your jokes, your cheerful smiles and your sensitivity. I don't know how people do this without such a loving medical family.
Greg--once again thanks for making the hard decision that night in the hospital that nobody else wanted to make. Thanks for believing that Jim was going to get better regardless of the odds. Thank you for being such an integral part of our miracle.
