    Rob's First Post-RPLND markers

    Rob went for a one-week follow up on Thursday with Sheinfeld and had bloodwork done.

    His remaining kidney is working 100% - they expected 75-90% after the renal failure. His pancreas also 100% - it was a little wonky after surgery also. And the best part?? His AFP is 4.1!!!!!!!!!!!

    That comes 10 weeks post chemo and 4 weeks post surgery. Wow. Now we still have to meet with Motzer next week to see if Rob will need surveillance or more chemo, but what a relief to get that number!

        Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

                        Oh Stacy!

                        I am so happy to hear this. The biggest smile came over me when I read it. I know it hasn't been easy for you both, but this news sure must be music to your hearts.

                        You know, the day danny wound up in the hospital (almost 2 weeks ago???) was yours and Rob's last day there. That night I wandered down from the 7th floor to the 5th to say hi, but I'd just missed you guys! I know we'll bump into each other sooner or later. I like when danny is able to meet TC survivors who have just completed their RPLND because that is his goal to reach and it's good for him to see it and smell it and feel the possibility standing right in front of him.

                        I wish Rob continued health and happiness NOW and ALWAYS!!!

                        LOVESTRONG,
