Morning update

Hello,

I spoke with Rod this morning and this is what he communicated to me. He is having the following tests completed this morning: Pet scan, cardiac echo and bone marrow. His kidneys have improved and his blood pressure is good today. The cancer however is an agressive type and his chemo treatments will be anywhere from two to five days starting tomorrow. He is tired today but his spirits seem good.

If anyone would like to comment and leave Rod a message you will need to create a google account first. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He is such a wonderful, kind and caring man.

Julie

  1. Rod,
    All of the nurses in OB have been trying to figure out how to send a message to you, but it took the intelligence of Chad in the Pharmacy to explain to me. Be sure to thank your wife for setting up this site, because I know there are a lot of people out there with questions about how you are doing. Please tell me when would be a good day to visit you. I know you'll be getting some messages from your friends in OB. Take care of yourself.
    Your Friend,
    Chris Signorelli

  4. Hi Rod, How are things? I have thinking about you and praying for your quick recovery. I thank Julie for sending this blog and I got it from Roger McConnell. Chris told me he sent you a response and I thought if he could do it so could I, of course i now have failed 3 times. So now Chad is here and he will show me how. Anyway I want to say I knew the first time I met you I knew you were a great and caring person I also know that you will fight this terrible disease and win over it. I will keep you in my prayers and keep these blogs coming so i will know how things are going. Frank Signorelli
