Your bravery and strength are light to us all.<br /><br />I don't know that you know that you are in my daily meditation chant for health and harmony. You have been for the last 2 years. I will chant your name with even more intention than every before.<br /><br />As you know, you have beat the odds many times in your life, not just since you've been sick. There is no reason to think you won't do it again.<br /><br />Gassho, my friend.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216844671118434620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16789804.post-44792281343734974742011-05-20T12:55:47.349-06:002011-05-20T12:55:47.349-06:00Hi Dan,

I think I hit 3 about 3 years ago. As for the allo, I had the full allo last year. I believe I mistakenly referred to it as a mini allo, but they gave me the full enchilada: high dose melphalan--200mg/m2 along with fludarabine. I was given the choice of 140 or 200 melphalan and took the big dose. Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement.dan pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422820512237999017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16789804.post-89672168794742020992011-05-17T23:01:51.160-06:002011-05-17T23:01:51.160-06:00Dan -- I have been praying and intending for you o...Dan -- I have been praying and intending for you on a regular basis, so that hasn't changed, even though your numbers have.<br />There have been studies that show when hundreds of people all pray at once for something, amazing things happen - so I am sure there are hundreds who are praying for you and your family now and we might be joined by many more to see something amazing - like your next test results.
