We wish you well and send our prayers your way.
Thanks for the "heads-up" about the nodule.

Great news!!! Stay strong.

Great news Earl!!!

While I don't make CPI-613, I've made a career out of making similar cutting edge oncology drugs. It's stories like yours that makes it all worthwhile!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're able to come off chemo and are able to continue to enjoy traveling and your grandkids.

[David Hodgkins]

GREAT NEWS Earl! Here's hoping for continued great response to this new treatment. Best wishes for you and Juanita!

Earl,
This is phenomenal news!!! Like AyRoMoDa, I make my living in the Oncology field as well. For so many patients to be having such amazing responses in a Phase 1 trial (typically considered just a dosing trial) is just downright awesome! And you aren't kidding when you say FOLFIRINOX is a super-intense chemo regimen ... holy cow it is a duesey!!! ... It's a true testament to your strength and will to tolerate and thrive on that regimen. I am thrilled to hear of your positive response and wish you all the continued success as you fight this disease away.

Earl-

What a fantastic post to read this morning! I am thrilled for you and your entire family! I think that cancer forgot that it was dealing with one tough SOB, and didn't realize it didn't stand a chance. HA! I hope you continue to kick its tail, and continue to get better until there are no traces left. I am sure we all know someone touched by cancer, and to see someone beating it is so uplifting, I can't describe it!

Will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts as you continue to heal. All the best Earl!

Regards,

Steve

There is also a bunch of good karma working for Earl. You know, the old what goes around, comes around. For those who don't know, amid all this, Earl and Juanita made a 12 hour round trip to join us at the Wade Chamberlain 'Celebration of Life' get together this past April in Warrenton, Va. A bunch of us met at a shopping center 15 minutes away so we could caravan in our cobras to the event. I was blown away when Earl got out of his van, joined the conversations, and went w/ us to the Celebration. Thanks again Earl, your tremendous progress is very well deserved.
