Happy Birthday!!!

Today, May 22nd, is Andre's birthday. He is still in the hospital but is getting better each day.

To ALL his readers: please write him a short note in the the comments section. I think it will cheer him up hearing from ALL of you.

Many thanks,
Ed

Trust me, this is way better than me singing it in person.

As a Taurus with five (yep, got that many!) planets in Gemini, I feel I am qualified to extend birthday greetings at the same time I am doing something else - isn't that what Geminis are known for? The duality of listening to two conversations at the same time while writing a letter to someone else? And being able to answer questions correctly from all comers? Seriously, Andre, my biggest gift to you today is to send you a Whopping large amount of Reiki energy to kick start your new year!! Continue to embrace the new cells and let the Andre cells know they were loved once but have to relinquish their hold so you can go on... like a clingy relationship, aren't they? I intend this happens and you and Ed have a great celebration together soon. Blessings to you on this special day...

Andre,
I have been following you since before the "big day." Have a Happy Birthday today. I hope that from here on you do outstanding.
Soon I will go through an allogeneic, and after having read your blog, I think I can do it.

Andre -

Happy belated birthday from a fellow Myeloma battler. I am from Los Angeles but have been ensconced in Little Rock, Arkansas doing the double autologous transplant thing. I just started my second course of Melphalan and will have the transplant on Tuesday.

If there is anything that makes the four cycles of massive chemo here including the two transplants sound like a walk in the park, it's hearing of your struggles with GVHD. At least you know that if you can make it through the complications, it should hopefully be curative!

My birthday wish for you is a rapid recovery followed by sustained complete remission and a long, happy, healthy life. That's a tall order -- but dammit, you deserve it!

Be well.

Nick
