Quick Update

Hello to everyone! It has been 3 weeks since I posted so I wanted to give you a quick update. The previous chemo session went as expected..YUCK! He made it through once again and endured the horrible side effects. By the third week he was feeling better, eating more and had more energy just in time to ....you guessed it..start round #6!

He got the pump on Monday and met with the nurse practitioner instead of the doctor. His blood work and blood pressure all looked good. He will wear the pump until Friday and then get the dreaded shot that afternoon. By the middle of next week, we expect him to start to come around again. We then wait for two weeks and then he is to have a CT scan. We don't have the date for that yet, but it will be somewhere around the 11th. He has an appointment with Dr. Bechdach on the 16th. At this appointment I hope to have a plan of action. Hopefully the CT will not show anything we don't already know. The last time we talked to the doctor, he said he would have talked with the radiologists in Birmingham and Dr. Hardacre here by the time we meet again. I pray that is the case. He mentioned there would be a little break between chemo and radiation and I KNOW Dad is glad for that!

So again we thank you for your continued prayer and concern. We sincerely appreciate the kindness you have shown and continue to show to our family. Please pray for this last round to do its job and shrink the cancers that are still there. Pray for the decisions to be made by the radiologist in the coming weeks.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known to God. ~ Philippians 4:6
