October 4, 2009

Casey had the weekend off of chemo, so he spent the weekend at his house.  His college friend and roomate, Yuri, spent the afternoon with him yesterday.  They watched the UNC/UVA football game together.  His friend Jenn came to see him last night, she is in the armed services (she's a graduate of the Naval Academy), so I really have a hard time keeping track of her, but we are all very proud of her. The ususal crew was also over,  Kyle was talking about an Australian tradition, where the men grow a mustache for the month of November in support of prostate cancer....So, Kyle, Derek, Tyler and Jed have declared the month of October to grow mustaches in support of Casey Coble.  If you know these guys, you understand how sweet, but whacky it is.

Casey was up at Hershey today and requried 2 pints of blood.  His counts are all way down and he is having spinal headaches from the lumbar puncture.  He didn't have a great day yesterday, his Tar Heels lost and he had a terrible headache.  Fortunately, Yuri lived with him for 4 years and knows how passionate he gets about his sports teams.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

  1. Peggy,

    Thanks for keeping us all posted. We all really appreciate it, and realize how tough this is for your whole family. Hopefully having all the knuckleheads around will keep his spirits up, especially with the hairy upper lips. I still don't know if Kyle is able to grow a mustache, though.

    Give our family's best to Casey and let him know we are thinking about him.

  2. Peggy,

    Please also post any details about the bone marrow drive or how to see if my wife and I could see if we are matches.

  3. Do You suppose if you were a match, and Casey got your bone marrow, his hair would grow back in red? They tell me your wife is real good looking, I think he would rather have hers.
