An update from Master Gardener Tom Ford, who is fighting Leukemia: "The doctor expects the impact of the chemotherapy on my system to be cumulative with me feeling worse each time. If for some reason I weather the second round well, I may be able get back sooner, but for right now I am focusing on getting through the next two rounds of chemo. Tom Butzler and I stay in touch regularly and I will keep him apprised. Thank the listeners for their prayers and kind thoughts as I go through this."
