Yes, you got the news already but there is more to say. I just counted eleven comments that are in Comments concerning the good news. And good news it is. It is a good example of how all my treatments have appeared to me. I jump from rock to rock as a kid crosses a river not always knowing where the next rock is. The water swirls and rises and falls randomly. What is next isn’t what I just did.

We are standing on a new rock, the Keytruda rock. It feels pretty steady. I see Cris seconding the motion on this drug. And this is more than just a drug, it is a new way of thinking, a new way of dealing with the problem. I look forward to that. This is immunotherapy, a new approach.

Thank you Magi. Your gift was earthshaking. Thank you.

we continue loves, Felipé.

  1. Phil, In the midst of the chaos and destruction of yesterday, what a comfort and joy to know that you were continuing to create and be miraculous. You are hope, and light. I am so grateful for your good news, and grateful for you, and your team of remarkable doctors.

  4. Great news and great attitude, Felipe! I was always afraid of those rocks we had to cross on the Camino but now I see them through your eyes. Praise the Lord and alperfect loves.

  5. Hola! Felipe! Amigo!

    As has been mentioned by many of your other Caminoheads, we were in such stark need for “joyous” news, and you provided, big time!! My Cathy, on reading your blog has often remarked that the two of us share more than a few idiosyncrasies. One of which is apparently that we are prolific “dreamers”. She claims to rarely have them, and I often have multiple ones each night. I”m glad you continue to relay them to us, but I’m going to get nervous if we start to “overlap” on the same subject. 🙂
    We often joke these days at how closely our electronic devices are keeping track of us, but it sometimes get to the point of being “1984 ish” scary. Case in point, I’ve never (before your post yesterday) heard of the word “Keytruda” , and yet after I relayed to Cathy that you were happily going to start a regimen using that product, and naming it by name, within hours my phone starting showing me adds for that very thing!!!! The conspiracy theorists worry about us being “implanted” with tracking implants by nefarious dark web characters. We’ve already voluntarily done it, and PAY FOR the privilege. ;{
    Some other family goings-on that should give you (and Rho) a smile: 3 of our near by Grands are into archery in an enthusiastic way. Their local 4-H Club is the sponsoring organization and they are all enjoying it immensely. So, I’ll keep you updated on their progress.
    So THRILLED with your latest medical report. We have “mutated” our daily prayer recital to reflect the change, with prayers of thankfulness included.

    1. PFJ ~ thanks for the long comment. So much going on. Can’t keep up with it all. Blesss you and yours in the New Year. Felipé.

  6. Hi boss,

    Looking at the picture, I hope I have “infected” the whole neighborhood here with the tradition of “The Three Wise Men” that we have in my country… The tradition says that on January 2nd, you write a letter to The Three Wise Men, and on the night of January 5th, you leave outside your door your shoes, a bucket with water for the camels, also some grass for them; and a glass of wine and some bread for The Three Wise Men (Melchor, Gaspar and Balthasar). Then, on the morning of January 6th, you will find the gifts The Three Wise Men left to you, usually, when you are a child, it is what you wrote them in the letter.

    January 6th is then a joyful day, when you are playing with the new toys The Three Wise Men left for you, or the showing off the new clothes, actually celebrating the gifts, whatever it is.

    There is a wonderful music too to describe the scene of their visit, which I love… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pFTbCKkM5I

    Best of the Loves,
    Cris
