Doctor Gene, I hate to read that you are going through this.  I hope and pray that you continue to win the fight.  I found out a day or so ago that a good friend, mentor and basically a father figure is having a similar struggle.  Please check in when you feel able and realize that many here appreciate your contributions and are pulling for you.

We greatly enjoyed speaking with you this winter and hate to hear of the battle with cancer.  As a 2 time cancer survivor all I can say is fight, fight, fight.

Gene hasn't logged in since the day he said something about his issue. Hope and pray he is doing well.

I just spoke with Dr. Gene on the phone and he sounded quite well.  

He is taking chemo every two weeks, sometime not too much negative reaction and then sometime more.  He spends much time sleeping and his wife is doing a good job of taking care of him.

We had a very nice visit.

Thanks for the check-in and update MM. 

Chemo can be pretty brutal as the drugs are basically toxic, and they just hope the doses are more toxic to the cancer than the patient.  :-\  But can really make the patient feel like crap.

Lynn, thanks much for the update.  I've been wondering how Gene was doing and pray that he beats it.

 Dr. Gene and I when he made a visit to the Cabin shortly after I finished the Addition Project.  He and I made a tour of my Vineyard Property while PatD prepared the evening meal for us.  It was a special treat having him visit.

i did text with him and he is OK.  I told him he was missed and thought of, and suggested someday when he has the energy, to give us a shout out!

11 chemo treatments since June 2023.  The most recent CT scan showed that tumors have shrunk 20% and some smaller ones are no longer visible.  I am feeling very good and quite active outside..
