For those of you who are following the story of William O'Rights here is an 
update on his condition.

HERE IS SO OF WHAT WILLIAM SAID YESTERDAY:

"Yesterday I went to get Chemo and the results of Mondays CT scans. As I 
expected the cancer has entered the spine. I lit up the T6 disk in no uncertain 
terms. The original mass is back to 8cm, and that is causing problems. My weight
is down to 125.5, so I didnaC t even get the dose of chemo I got when I was in 
the hospital. They wouldnaC t give me the Carboplatin, although I thought I 
tolerated it well last week. ItaC s a class 4 chemo agent, but I was OK with it.
The doctor just thinks my weight is too far down to go heavy with a class 4 
agent. Last weeks dose has given me relief. I can swallow food now, and IaC m 
not vomiting. I can sleep for several hours before the back pain wakens me. They
are going to do Radiation Therapy on the spine."


William things he can hold off the cancer even though the doctors don't give him
much (or any) of a chance.  He has always been a fighter.
