News from early March, 2008
We don't have great news. My tumor has returned. Surgery and radiation have been ruled out and we're left with some type of clinical study or the chemo and other medication from 2006.
My oncologist (Dr. Kaesberg) is opting for joining a clinical study and we will meet every 3-4 weeks to see if/when I can join. I have to be not taking any other chemo if the clinical study is to start so we'll be in wait and seem mode each 3-4 week period.
Again, Dr. Kaesberg has indicated these are not cures and the overall outlook is not good (5-6 months).
We just found out this morning, but will, obviously, fight with all we've got.
To those family and friends who read this....take care, be safe, and thank you for all your thoughts.

I can not find the right words to say. Like everyone who knows and loves you two, we never wanted to hear this type of news.
Please keep up the good fight, and we will keep you both in our prayers, May God give you the strength you need for whatever lies ahead....

Jim and Kaye,
I still remember the first day I met you. What I remember is your great attitude and your wonderful smile. When you first introduced Kaye, I remember her great attitude, her wonderful smile and one other thing. It was that you had both found what you were looking for. Both of you are in our thoughts and prayers and keep fighting.

Hi Jim,
I've visited your blog several times this past 2 days re-reading your last post. I still havent made peace with this news - You were supposed to be here before I came back from my break !
Of course, you will fight back with all you have.
wishing you and Kaye and the rest of your family strength and grace from above.
Do Keep us posted.
