Medical Update

[Ken Salisbury]

I promise quite a few folks that I would try to keep you up to speed on my medical conditions (see thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=22281 for background.

After the results of the barrage of tests I have had, the decision was made yesterday to begin chemo therapy tomorrow morning.

Worse case scenerio is 3 to 4 months :( . Best case scenerio is a 30% chance of survival for 3 or more years :) . It will all depend on how my body reacts to the chemo treatments and the drugs used in that process.

Ken, You are in my families thoughts and prayers.
I belive there is a reason for everything, and we often don't understand.
Keep strong and my God be with you and your family.

[Michael Gabbay]

Ken - Keep the spirits up. Also go the THE BEST DOCTORS you can get to. Having had a couple of family members go through cancer treatment, I found that each Doctor will have his/her personal opinion that is not always based on medical facts or the most up to date information.

Good luck with the chemo. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. :)
