It's easy for us to forget how sick David is because from all outward appearances he looks just fine. We continue to be inspired by the energy you two exhibit, the zest for life that you each have, and your determination thus far in dealing with all the struggles presented for you to remain on the road. You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers as you face yet one more hill to climb.

I do know what you are going through at this point with your decisions. There are some amazing trials out there for so many different forms of cancer but finding them can be quite the challenge. I know you mentioned in a comment above about the work to change facilities but have you looked at MD Anderson in Texas? We found it a little too late but they seem to have so many experts in various fields of cancers and are doing so many trials. I am sure you have thought of everything but where are leading experts working for this type of cancer? With David being in the minority of those responding to treatment, I would think he would be a prime candidate for a trail if the remaining treatment regiments don't work. Yes, life on the road is wonderful but giving David some true quality with a new treatment would be wonderful too. You didn't mention how David is handling this news. I hope he can continue to keep his spirits up and think positively and keep looking forward even when the light dims a little. I'll keep you two in my thoughts and prayers:)<br /><br />On a lighter note...that wood stork is a weird kind of pretty. Just don't look at the head...haha! Our first intro to this bird was in the Everglades and my husband said it looked like he had the wrong head on. We had to ask at the VC what it was. <br /><br />John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-62431347350119484042015-03-19T11:04:40.181-04:002015-03-19T11:04:40.181-04:00Sherry and David, I'm sorry.Sherry and David, I'm sorry.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-37888847868691262612015-03-19T09:55:10.999-04:002015-03-19T09:55:10.999-04:00My heart is heavy.....you two stand together like ...My heart is heavy.....you two stand together like 2 giant trees and all of us will wrap our arms around the two of you and give you all a big, big hug. Having a motorhome will allow you to go to the medical facility of your choosing. I know in Little Rock we were staying at a COE and they had around six RV sites 'just' for University of Arkansas Medical Science patients....I am certain other facilities have like agreements with RV parks.

David Is my hero in how he has not spent his time dwelling on his serious illness but rather moved on with life and has tried to enjoy all the moments we so often take for granted, large and small. You are my hero in that you have planned and researched the travels and found ways to enjoy the little things in life that so many of us gloss over. I know that neither of you will give up without a fight after receiving this discouraging news. Certainly hoping you can both find ways to continue your travels, albeit a little more limited, and explore new places. So hoping that this new therapy is THE one that proves to hold the multiple myeloma at bay for a longer period. So many people out there are praying and/or sending positive energy to you both... and fighting alongside you in spirit, as you know we are. Sending thoughts for strength and vision, so that you can plan your lives around the things you enjoy the most, and the people who make your lives brighter. I know that Carrie's upcoming wedding will be a joyful event that will bring a smile to both yours and David's faces.

What a difficult and depressing time for you. You are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. It's amazing and a wonderful testament to all your dictors and you and David that you have been able to travel as long as you have. I'd not have the courage to keep battling, would say the hell with it and head out for one last trip. You both are amazing and we admire you both very much.

I hope you can find a way to continue to at least do a little traveling while David is on the new treatments. I completely understand not wanting to spend the summer in Florida. You have some difficult decisions to make and I hope you find a way to be where you want to be. I hope you enjoy your stay at O'Leno and your trip back to Virginia for Carries wedding. A little Carrie time might make you both feel better.
