Hello and Good Afternoon to all who are reading this blog thing. I want to encourage you all to write messages because it helps me kill a little time during my 7-hour days here at Siteman. I know that there are several of you who are trying to write messages and it's just not working. PLEASE KEEP TRYING!
The bald thing is in. I've known that for a while. I encourage those of you that are thinking about getting a new "do" or are showing signs of thinning hair (i.e. balding), buy yourself some clippers and shave it. You'll look and feel much better. Plus, you can finally be like me!...not really but I had to show my mother that I am a humble individual! :)
Twelve (12) more treatments left. June 10th can't get here soon enough but how great a day that will be. I can't wait! Talk to you all soon!

Going home after treatment, realized the back tire was flat....hard to keep Jeremy away from the work. Jess did most of it herself, BUT I was there photographing the occasion.

It was great to see you today and finally meet you face to face. It was nice to sit and visit with you and your Mom, you certainly look good and healthy, keep up the good work and June 10th will get here soon! We will continue praying for you and for God to wrap you in his comfort and give you His strength!
Blessings,
The Herrings
Hey Jerm I am so glad that you are happy that you look better with your new "do" because i think you look pretty awesome in it. When you get older you could look just like your daddy and I mean that in a good way and are family (My mom and dad, me, you, Uncle Jerry, Aunt Val, Jees, you, and maybe grandpa) should get together and go to the cabin and go fishing, for a 4- wheel ride and just have fun and have a bbq. Well I hope I can talk to you and see you soon!!! Have Fun!!! Love you!!! I am always think about you!!!!
Good Luck with the rest of your treatments,
Love you,
Maranda
It was great seeing you yesterday Jeremy. Yes, it is great not having hair. It saved me a good 20 minutes in the morning when I didn't have to mess with my hair. The good thing is is that it does grown back. Paul shaved his head also when I lost my hair. That was great. Glad your Dad did the same for you. You're strong, keep going and it will be over before you know it. Love to you and all those who are taking care of you. DdiZ
Personally, I would look like crap without my hair. I have one of those weird shaped heads! It was soooo nice to sit and chat today. It's been so long since I've seen you. I'll be by tomorrow with FOOD!!! I'll give you a call before I am done cleaning and see what your little heart desires!
Cheers, JC

Hi Jeremy! I wanted to tell you that I am a faithful reader of your "blog thing." I love the pictures your mom posts. I really admire your courage, strength, and faith. You are remembered in my prayers! May God continue to sustain you each and every day ~ Come on June 10th!!
Kathy
(from Cameron) Woh woh woh! What's my wife doing on here saying bald is sexy?!?! On your next Harley ride you need to let me see that bad boy, better yet, I need to get one and join you! Since the chances of that happening are nill to none to impossible, please comeby so I can drink a beer and listen to its sweet pur! Jeremy, your mom (and you) do an awesome job posting the updates so as long as you keep posting I'll keep commenting.
Hi Jeremy (and Val),
You don't know me, but I'm your Mom's WW pal. Don't believe anything your Mom says about me! I would try to take your "bald" advice, but thank goodness I have thick hair! Ha-Ha! I'd look funny bald. Seriously, though, love your great attitude, spirit and faith. Keep up the good health and roll on June 10th!
Take care,
Kathie McCord
What's up Jeremy? It has been a really long time. I can't tell you how much I admire your strength and currage during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. On a lighter side, I didn't know you rode a motorcycle. When you are feeling up to going for a ride let me know and we can go tear up the town on our motorcycles like we used to on our BMX bikes the summer before high school. Man, those were the days. Nothing to do, but we could do whatever we wanted. Now it seems like life and responsibilitis get in the way all to often. My Dad and I just got back from a 3 day ride down in the Ozark Mountains down in Arkansas. Man, It is beautiful country down there. (Just watch out for the "summer teeth" hillbillys) (summer teeth because the only have some of there teeth). Anyway, I better get back to work. It was great to read about your journey, and I hope we can get together soon and catch up. Give me a call or email me sometime (314.808.4334 or bailey_rocco@hotmail.com)
Peace out Buddy
