Today is ASCT + 643.
I had my 4th course of therapy today, Kyprolis 35 mg and Decadron 10 mg. I blessed these meds for my use, praying that they reach every cancer cell and kill it.
I’ll have my 5th and final course tomorrow of this therapy set. Yes, it’s normally 6, but I had to miss Tuesday last week to travel on business.
So far all has been typical with side effects – lack of sleep on nights after infusions and water retention that goes away with lots of urinating on Thursday – Saturday when I return to my previous weight.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for my healing and for all the healing received by those for whom we pray. Amen

Hi Karl,
May this special day bring you multitudes of recognizable little miracles. Sending you bushel baskets full of prayers.
Wondering what has been happening since July 20th.
Warmest Wishes, and Thank you Lord for all Karl’s healing and for all the healing received by all others for whom we pray. Ah Ho, Amen.

Hi Star
It has taken me some time to think about how to respond to your beautiful comment. Finally all I can really say is thank you and God bless you. Karl
Hi Karl
I am smiling, glad you are still breathing!
Please keep doing that!
God Bless,
Star
Dear Karl, last week I sat down and read your story from the beginning. Thank you for keeping this journal. Five years you have bravely faced each day. So much courage. Shortly after you emailed me, the computer crashed, your contact info lost, so this is the only way I have to message you. I have to communicate to you my deep gratitude. You said “the most important thing in life is to always create beautiful memories” no one has ever said anything more wise than that. You have the most benevolent kind generous unconditionally loving heart I’ve ever known, and I’m so very glad you volunteered to become my friend in 1965. Your friendship shaped my adulthood in a time when I really needed a best friend. I am deep gratitude. One of the other things I am so grateful for is the long happy marriage you created with Kathleen. Good karma is yours! With all my heart, God bless You! Star.
