Chemo

From Tom, Albert's brother:

"Albert reported that he didn't use his computer much or play online poker while I was gone. He complained its been hard to concentrate. He had one round of chemo, which required a blood transfusion before he was ready (not a good sign). He complains of shortness of breath and fatigues easily. His appetite is way down. The stairs are hard on him. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow where I will directly ask the tough questions. We re-enrolled Albert in hospice, and they have delivered a lot of good services to help Albert be more comfortable." (August 5, 2008)

"I will have new update shortly, much is going on." (August 11, 2008)

Hello Albert's Team,

The last post (8/11) requested that no gifts be sent. I would like to arrange to send Albert a symbol of the love from his friends in Urban Diversion. Please feel free to contact me directly so we can determine the best way to do this.

Cheers,
Melinda Rodgers

Tom, thanks for the update. I check the site daily to see if there's any news. Remind Albert how many people love him and are thinking of him.

Tom,

Let Albert know how much we are all thinking of him and wishing him the best of a difficult time.

As you know, we live locally and would like to be of whatever assistance we can. If Albert seeing some friends will raise his spirits than just let me know and we'll schedule a visit.

We love Albert!

Scott
