Hi Everyone,
Jeff found out that his lab work from Friday showed some improvement (YEA!!!!!). His blood counts are holding strong and his insulin is down. Also, the "tumor markers" (other blood tests that indicate tumor growth) are showing some signs of improvement. Needless to say, Jeff and I are so excited about this new news and even though he's only been on the chemo for 2.5 weeks, we are cautiously optimistic. Besides being extremely tired, he has not had too many other symptoms from the chemo and his next oncology appointment is next week - we should know more then.
Please keep us in your prayers.
Lin

Jeff,
Stay strong brother, you can keep beating this. Chin up and keep fighting. You are always in our prayers.
Love,
Scott, Anna, Kaitlyn and Austin.
Sounds great Bro. We need some current pics posted. You can do it!!
Think about you every day my friend. Love Stevie
Jeff & Linda - HEY!!! Great news! and congratulations on all three counts, I suppose - I'm sure Brit will wind up right where she needs to be. Imagine - a goofy underclassman becoming a grandfather!
All Our Love From Way Out West...

Dude thats awesome! I am glad to here the positive news. Amanda and I continue to pray for you and your family. Love you bro Hutch!
Jeff, Linda, and family......We want you to know we are keeping tabs on your progress, and thinking of you! It's hard to imagine Brad and Brit going to college....didn't I feed them all the time when we lived in Carpenter Park?...I guess I can take some responsibility for them growing up. :) Keep fighting, and we'll keep praying...Love, Rick, Kim, Cory and Jimmy.

Great news. I know the many prayers are working. Everyone sends their love. All your many relatives back here are praying for you and send their love. I hope if it works out I will be out to see you soon. I know you are a fighter and you keep that chin of yours up. I appreciate that Linda continues to update the blog and keep us all in the loop. We love you very much. your cousins, Colleen and John in Boston.
p.s. John says you still need to go see the Red Sox. :>)

When we feel we have nothing left to give,
And we are sure that the song has ended,
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
And the darkness of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
To valiantly keep on trying?
Where can we find the hand that will dry
The tears that the heart is crying?
There's but one place to go and that is to God,
And dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
And gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life's crossroads
And view what we think is the end,
But God has a much bigger vision,
And He tells us it's only a bend.
For the road goes on and is smoother,
And the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
Is the sweetest and richest and best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger ...
Let go and let God share your load.
Your work is not finished or ended ...
You've just come to a bend in the road!!
Hey Cuz....
Thinking of you everyday. Boston is still cold but we are patiently waiting for "Spring" weather. Looking forward to the Red Sox season to start. The first game is in Japan.
Easter dinner will be here. We wish you and Linda and the family a joyous Happy Easter season.
Our prayers are with you and the family always.
Keep Smiling!
Love
Kathy, Kevin, Sarah, Joseph, Kristina, Tommy & Madisyn.
March 26 - no news is good news, I presume.
