Java Update for April

[Jim Seamans]

Well just when you think things couldn't get any better.....
Sailing has just been fabulous over the winter..

Due to the cancer, while on the boat I've had to take monthly blood test to ensure things were progressing in a good way. Well, March blood test went off into the bad direction. It was back to where I started a year ago. So the doctor ordered me home asap. Doctor called about March 25 and we were on our way to St Augustine. We considered leaving the boat on a mooring and head back. NO WAY. Lets get the boat back to home.. So we left St Augustine on March 30th and arrived Cobb Island on April 9th... What's that 10 DAYS???

Had tests for three days starting Apr 14th. CTscan showed that the tumor had increased 50% from the February scan but has not spread anywhere else. Thats a BIG relief. I start chemo AGAIN April 21, which will go for three weeks then a week off and start for another three weeks. This is going to screw with my summer sailing....

You got the boat home, be kind to yourself and focus on the fight. Get well soon.

Jim;

I am praying for you big brother.

 

[Bad Obsession]

Jim, as always, I am a phone call away. Especially since I work close to where you live.

I hope all goes well. You will beat this thing. You too much to do still and you are too full of life.

I just mumbled something dark and unintelligible under my breath when I read that.

Keep fighting, man..

Jim, I remember tell you to keep an optimistic view on the d... situation. You did that last Summer and last Fall and then were able to take a great trip this winter. OK it's a set-back for now, but you are back home and can take care of yourself as you should. As Gunni said, focus on the fight for now and when the 7 weeks are over, there still will be time for Summer sailing. My thoughts are going to be with you.
