Big Day
July 7, 2021
My oncologist, Dr.. Gerald Goldklang, has my blood drawn beforehand and sent to the lab so he can look at my results when he sees me. Today is the day I see him. I’m taking Patty because one category of my numbers is up. Really up. It could mean a myeloma relapse. I will give a report after we talk.
I have noticed a decline in the way I feel recently. One possibility is that the medicine I have been taking since November of 2012 is starting to lose its effectiveness. The good news is that the FDA has approved several treatment drugs that can take the baton hand-off from Revlimid. So, we shall see what he says.
My life is fully dedicated to prayer, serving the ones I love, and just trying to give support and love to those who need it … family, neighbors, acquaintances, anybody I come in contact with. Any strength God gives me is applied in that way.
As David said, “I will fear NO EVIL; for Thou art with me.”

Dean, You are like Mt. Zion!
Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time and forever.
