good news that looks bad at first

First, I'd like to thank all the people who have come to visit Joe this week. You're good people! Keep up the good work. :)

Second, word has come from MD Anderson. He's been rejected. BUT. Not because he doesn't have insurance, but rather because they think he's fine where he is. He's not eligible for the stem cell therapy because that's only for people in remission, which he's obviously not. They told Joe's oncologist to keep up the chemo, only more so, and they suggested an antibody medication that should clear out his neurological system and take care of all the physical problems he's been having! Yay! So Big Joe's staying in Denton. He's already doing chemo again and he starts the antibody drug today. I have no idea how fast it will work, but hopefully fast!
