Thanks Mike. I've got a strong support system. We'll get through this too.
I am sorry to hear about you hitting the Cancer lottery. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you begin this next transplant procedure. The med's we take to keep us alive really are a double edge sword. Stay Strong!!
Mike Congratulations. You can be happy also that you dodged the Prograf bullet. Remember the side effects listing of a 2% possibility of developing cancer. That's the bullet and I got hit. 4 years post liver transplant I developed lymphoma in my n...
Thank you Nancy! I don't have any prograf numbers anymore. They only check my Sirolimus(Rapamune) numbers now. Two weeks ago my numbers were high at 18. So my doc had me cut my rapamune down from 3mg daily to 2mg daily. Next week I will have my la...

BCA 8 Ball Nationals
Tomorrow morning I am leaving for Las Vegas. On Saturday May 9, the 8 ball nationals begin. My first match will be at 10:30pm on Saturday evening. I hope to play well and place pretty high in the tourney and maybe even win the thing:) My donors mom is coming to Vegas on Saturday and will watch me play. The only reason I am able to compete in this tournament is because of the special gift i was given by her and her son Tory. With his lungs inside me i will be calling the shots! Wish me luck!

Suba Diving and Lung Transplant!
Well my wife and i just returned for a week long trip to St. Thomas in the U.S Virgin Islands. It was an awesome week on a beautiful beach. The highlight of my week was the day i went Scuba diving.

Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday. I see birthdays as celebrating another year of life and living and we do have two birthdays a year; one for age and the other I call our "Re-Birthday". So go out there and celebrate life, living and the day you came to be.

- Clinic visit went pretty good. Im back home. Still fighting with this sinus/head/chest cold. Hoping to feel better soon. Thanks for your words of encouragement. How far is Cedars from USC? I hadnt heard of a lung transplant there. Just heard about USC and UCLA. Hmmm...something to look into.
