Post from Tom Scholbergs Caring Bridge site

[Mark W]

Tom's wife Deb just posted this. Figured I would make a new post instead of adding to Tom's below

"I have not put an entry in for a while. We had fairly smooth sailing for a few months. Tom?s multiple myeloma cells have again started to increase in his body. He had a stem cell transplant last fall that is not hold his bad cells in check. The Drs. want him to restart chemotherapy with two new medications on August 6th, 2018. He had a PET scan today that looks for any hotspots in his bones. We have no results yet. Tomorrow(Friday) he goes in to have a port placed in his left shoulder for the chemo. infusions. For now he will going in two times a week for 8 weeks, then every other week for four months and then once a week for four months. We are so thankful for all the support we have received. We ask again that you remember Tom in your prayers as he starts this next journey. He has been staying very positive, but this news was difficult to hear. Love to all of you. Thanks again for keeping him in you prayers. Deb."

And trap shooting between rounds of chemo, because Tom is one tough mother.
