Happy Thanksgiving!


291 days post-transplant and still in remission!  I completed my eighth monthly round of maintenance chemotherapy week before last – 5 consecutive daily subcutaneous injections of Guadecitabine.


I have been truly blessed by a bountiful harvest of new stem cells that have saved my life and by all of my caregivers and supporters, especially my wife Lorraine and sons Jarrod and Thomas and their families. They have watched over me diligently and are always there to check on me and help me out, but never let me go to the “dark side.” Lorraine, once again, has had to take on enormous additional personal and family responsibilities, but I am hopeful to return “fully charged” after completion of my maintenance chemotherapy and other supportive drugs early next year. 


My faith is recharged daily as I see all of the love and support that surrounds me. My prayers are answered every waking moment I know that Jesus Christ is my savior and redeemer and watches over me constantly. I feel every prayer prayed and every thanks given and would like to continue to thank each of you for providing me these blessings. 


May you each have a blessed and joyful Thanksgiving holiday. 


Yours in Peace,


John L.
