    Two things, trying to go to Colorado for a daughters wedding.  @ have gotten delayed leaving because my bloodwork is so bad that they have requested that we not leave driving out until I get a blood transfusion.  Wife has to make wedding dress and other wedding wear after we get there.  I feel fair but always very tired and have been sleeping 10-14 hours most days.  My Oncologist wants me to stop taking the Gleevec for a while and see if the blood levels straighten out.  Hope to contact ya'll later, Good People.

      I hope you are able to make your daughter's wedding Jerry, and hope you are feeling good for it also.  You told me to keep you updated, so I wanted to let you know I had my surgery Monday and found out yesterday that the test results came back clear.  The Dr. said it looks like they got everything when they did the biopsy, so I feel much better.  My head hurts and my leg is sore were they took the skin graft, but otherwise doing good.  Let us know how the wedding goes, I'm sure it will be beautiful and I'm praying you'll be there.
