Nick Asoian’s Recovery

Radiation machine

Nick sent this out from the hospital and we wanted to get it on here as well.----------------------------------------------------------- Hey everyone, I wanted to write and give you an update on how I'm doing and also let you know that the registration for the Gobble Gobble Wobble has been extended until the day of the event. The Gobble Gobble Wobble is a pub crawl that is being held this Saturday the 14th in Downtown Denver as a benefit. Some of these proceeds will go to helping me pay my extensive medical bills. It will be held at five different bars: Front Porch, Spill, Nallen's, Pour House, and Lavish and promises to be an awesome time. I wish I could be there to party with all of you but I am eleven days into my twenty one day hospital stay. With your entry to the pub crawl your team will get T-shirts and there are going to be trivia questions at each bar. For more info and to sign up go to http://www.loft-22puttinpubcrawl.com/ or click on the link from my website www.nickasoian.com I hope that everyone can make it and thank you again for all of your continued support! As for me I have done all of the treatment and had the stem cell transplant. Unfortunately, the effects of the radiation are catching up with me and it has been making my mouth and whole digestive system really painful. I have lost twenty pounds since being in here and can't eat solid food at the moment. The good news is that Dr. Myint has said that I am right on schedule and that I am "textbook" as far as how I'm feeling and my progress. At the moment I have >O.1 white blood cell count and have had to receive one blood transfusion. However, once my stem cells have en-grafted and my counts come back up I should start to feel much better. Right now with my inability to fight off infection I am not having any visitors but I can't wait to get out of here and see everyone again. Thank you all again and don't forget to sign up for the Gobble Gobble Wobble. - Nick
