A 47% shrinkage is amazing, let's just hope they can control the side effects.

a quick update on john otoole ... the great great news is that the new ckinical trial chemo is working and his tumor has shrunk 47% ... the not so good news is that he is currents in the infectious disease section of a hospital in stamford .. the chemo has destroyed his immunity and although his tumor has shruunk this is the weakes t he has ever felt ... but he did recieve the signed lance jersey from the laf and was estatic and has fully committed himself to riding in austin.

It's truly inspiring to hear that John was able to ride yesterday.

[topshelf]

thank you bart ... but what i said on the podium is really true .. my ability to rais emoney pales in comparison to the countless hours of support everyone here gives and the inspiration someone like john otoole brings ... as you saw him struggle up to the stage its amazing he can even get on a bike ... but he was able to complete 8 miles ... its truly amazing

Bill, Nancy, and I met up with (former TC-Cancer.com forum admin) Teri at the Public House, but we were late getting there. Dianne and others, I hope you weren't looking for us earlier and unable to find or contact us. Next time we set something up, we'd better swap mobile phone numbers.

Topshelf, what you did tonight, besides cracking us up, was quite admirable.

You're a stand up guy.

And JO, he's beyond inspirational.
