Round 2 Complete

Made it through round 2 of biochemo, which turned out to be more difficult than round 1. Lot more nausea this time than last, making it difficult to eat for most of the first 2 weeks. But the doctors came through with some stronger medication by the end of week 2 which helped me start gaining weight again.

Anyway, Michelle has started calling me a spotted owl and making owl sounds due to my continued loss of hair in spots. Do I really look like a spotted owl? You be the judge.

As always, thank you to everyone for the notes, emails, and calls. Hope you are doing well.

I actually think the hair kind of makes a "rockstar/punk" statement. I think you should keep the style for a few years so Lucy can tell her junior high friends how cool and punk her dad is.

Hey Rich,

Best of luck with the battle.

Now that you're home, I hope someone is still waking you every two hours. :)

Rich,
I have to say the new look is awesome! I think you should spike it up with some gel. I think Lucy would love to help. So happy you are home and I think of you every day. Your strength inspires all around you close and far. God Bless!

Just checking in. Seems like you've been busy (understatement)and going through much more than any of us had expected.

We love the new look - quite becoming. My gut tells me Disney might actually still approve.

Your notes and thoughts have been informative and inspiring - thank you for sharing them.

Our thoughts are with you, if there's anything we can do, pls let us know.

Big Hug,
Linda & Tom

Dear Rich - Can't wait to swing dance with you during our visit to Berkeley (May 10-13) so put on some weight and polish up those dancin' shoes...We are inspired by your strength and humor. Keep us laughing! Lots of love and best wishes for a healthy appetite - Nancy, Adam, Gabrielle
