The scoreboard reflects a battle of the arms – a good ole fashioned pitcher’s duel. Goose eggs dot the scoreboard and hitters are frustrated, as each pitcher is throwing his best game yet. The runner on second was stranded, as each additional inning stretches this nail-biter.

Dave has had minor side effects, slowly gaining ground, but not able to move forward on the base path. The determination and fortitude has never wavered from either him nor his teammates. In fact, the bench has only become stronger and more supportive.

As this game continues through the weekend, Dave is holding nothing back. His counts are showing that the struggle is not over. Whether that means that the CAR T-Cells are working extra innings right now to conquer cancer or the leukemia is still lurking, we are in the wait-and-watch mode.
