John, just checking up on you.  Curt went refractory about 4-6 months ago
but delayed treatment (taxotere + decadron + zofran )  and a PSA of 87 .we
just went for round 2 today. His hair is 2/3s gone already. (mr meticulous
hasn't showered for 2 days!! I think all the hair in the shower tub freaked
him out). another unusual response by Superman.

we were just wondering how John was doing and if he was still in the trial.
Curt's Liver enzymes put him out of guidelines for a weekly IV of MEDI-522
plus Taxotere, decadron, zofran, and zometa every 3 weeks. 14 months of
Vicodin did in the liver. now he takes Actiq suckers for pain which are not
widely used in Minnesota so I have been having a horrific time trying to
fill the script. They all carry the Fentynal patch (makes Curt throw up
more) so they are way freaked when I show up with a script for 150 400 mcg
suckers! lol.
still has his moustache and has to shave so he might just have to go for the
van dyke look.

please let us know how it is going. I actually Googled you to see when you
had last posted to a group and it was your motorcyle group. I am glad you
finally got his disability settled. We have social security disablilty which
also gives a good amount to each child each month but you have to have filed
taxes and Curt hasn't filed 2003 even though he probably doesn't owe. so
that is out for now. he will do it when he HAS to.
he still works his company pretty much full time. he is delegated more
prelim work like tearouts, stripping and padding then he seams the carpet
and stretches it in.
take care
Curt and Lori Miller
