Update from Dave.

Hi All -

Below is an email Dave sent to family. I can not say enough about the constant and attentive care we have been getting here. I DEFINITELY feel we made the right move in coming to Germany!

Tomorrow the Dr's will have the results from the chemo-sensitivity test, and they will start Dave on Chemo specifically targeted to work on his type of cancer.

The other patients that we have talked to are all having fantastic results, and are back again for more medicine at the clinic, after months and months of healthy living back at home.

Almost all of the staff speak PERFECT English, and they still apologize for their errors!

Alex and I are trying to stay busy, w/o abandoning Dave for the whole day.
It is a tough balancing act w/ a 10 year old! Attached please see the email Alex sent to his class for a few extra laughs! Love to you all, and more later -

XOXO
Randi

From Dave

Hi Mom and family (pls route if you can):

The Clinique is great with a very attetinve staff. Doctors are conferring and the treatment planned for dendretic cell the starts in Jan but we are trying to move that up. I get daily light doses of chemo that don't seem to affect me. My leg is still sore and I fell this morning to my embarrassment that set me back a bit. I am on crutches now. Randi and Alex made a trip into Bad Tolz about a 10 min. bus ride to check out the Christmas market.

The food is good and rich and I should have no problems maintaining my weight. The rooms are adequate with CNN and movies we can use.

More later as dinner is getting ready to be served.

Love Dave
