I recieved this great news this morning:

R,

The blogg sounds great.  I definitely have no problems with it at all.
As I said before I am going to take all of the support I can get.

As for how I am doing, things are going great.  I got the results back
from my last round of testing yesterday and things are looking great.
My blood marker levels have continued to decline and all of my scans
are coming back normal.  I have basically been cleared for the rest of
the trip so that is a weight off my shoulders.  However, I will still
be doing weekly blood tests overseas just to keep an eye on things.  I
am also beginning to get my surgery lined up for when I get back from
the games.  I would like to do it  in Atlanta so I
can be close to my family.

Swimming has been going great.  I feel really good in the water and am
also very strong in the weightroom.  Those are two pluses as sometimes
after a big meet like trials it takes a while to get back into things.
I have been going very fast during the test sets we do so that is
always a good sign.  We leave for Singapore of Friday.  We are staying
at some 5 star resort for like 8 days before we head to the games on
August 4.  Obviously I am really looking forward to the Singapore
trip.  Other than that everything is pretty low key and boring at this
point.  Taper time in swimming always is, but we need our rest.

Hope you are doing well, let me know if you need anything.

Eric
