Early June Update from Phil

Hi everyone. On Friday, June 5th, Patty and I went to Chicago for an appointment with Dr, Nicholas and an Avastin treatment. The news on my condition continues to be good with a positive report on my condition from my doctor. (M. Kelly Nicholas). I told him that I was so happy to have chosen their group for my treatment and he told me that he was very happy to have me in his study. He told us that he was using my case as an example for his new GBM patients, partly because of my progress and partly because of my willingness to travel to Chicago every two weeks for treatment. On this day, we flew up on Southwest making it a one-day visit. We will return for more Avastin on June 19th and then again for an MRI on July 1st which tells the real, anatomical story. Our trip was tempered somewhat by the recent passing of my wife, Patty's father, Dick Rohde, the day before we went to Chicago.
