Chemo #4 Update

There's good news and bad news.  The good news is that I've been cleared for Toronto, so Bouchercon is a go.  The bad news is that the chemo doesn't appear to be working.  PSA count is way up, so the third time isn't the charm.  I'll be getting some tests in a few weeks, and maybe I'll know more then.  As it is, it doesn't appear that they can find the magic bullet.  Not even the semi-magic bullet.  They'll keep trying.

Sorry it wasn't better news. Hope the con is great fun.

Hey, it's always something, right? Keep on trucking. Even the doctors have to hit on the right combination sooner or later (sooner, I hope), right? See you in Toronto.

Enjoy Toronto. Keep your head up.

Oh man, what a bummer. I'm very glad you're going to go to Toronto, and hope you enjoy Bouchercon a lot, and I'm sure you will. You're a fine human being, you don't deserve this. Prayers from us.

Prayers sent that the doctors find the right treatment to help you and that you maintain your high spirits and hope all the way to the cure.

Hopes and prayers for you, Bill.
Glad you'll be able to make Boucheron.

Thinking about you all the time; keep a good thought.

Enjoy Bouchercon, Bill. Our good thoughts and prayers can certainly reach as far as Toronto.

See you there!

Man....I am sorry. Good news is very much in short supply apparently. Very glad you can go north of the border and party. Have a blast.

I know you will pull through, Mr. Crider, and of course, you have the backing and love / support of many friends.

Here's a wish for a spot of better news in future days!
