October 24th Note from Roger

Today I feel great. My body is producing healthy cells. I no longer need transfusions and I’m eating with real enthusiasm for the first time in a year. I’m getting stronger. There is something good going on, we're just not sure what it is. It may be the effect of the infused stem cells, but could it also be that I'm in remission?  I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow, so we'll hear what he and the transplant team in Salt Lake think.

Candi and I are taking it a day at a time, enjoying the cold, gray, wet mornings that turn bright gold in the afternoon. Fall has always been a favorite time for me. It brings back memories of college and rejuvenates my spirit. We will be road-tripping south once a month for medical tests through the fall and winter; the next trip coming up the first week of November.  We're actually looking forward to our drive.  This time we'll take the scenic route along the Teton mountains down through Logan into Salt Lake. The Fall colors will be spectacular.
