JOHN
HAS FINISHED CHEMO! But------
On October 7, 2003, we were told that my younger
son John had acquired monosomy 7 chromosome damage as a result of the
chemo for the ALL Leukemia, which may be fatal. (More likely then not.)
It certainly will disable him sometime in the future. How long or how
soon we have no idea as they cannot tell us. We have determined to live
life as much as possible while he can. He is a student at Ohlone full
time and still plans to move to San Deigo in July. If I am still not
working full-time within my chosen high-tech career, I may move with
him and begin full-time writing.
We had
a late night (talking)
