Haven't written for a while because there really hasn't been anything of special note to report. The blood work this week was within the normal range again. The RBC is usually on the low side, which is normal when there are chemo treatments.
The side effects have taken a bit longer to get under good control. Arnie has been tired a lot and the stomach distress has lasted a bit longer as well. He did go into work today though. The one chemo drug had been increased last time and those side effects were more evident this time.
We went to church on Sunday, which was good. It is always good to go to church. We were able to go the day after we got back from Zion too, which never happens. Usually Arnie does not feel well enough to go anywhere that soon after a treatment, but after the last 2 treatments, we have been able to attend church that Sunday... not Sunday School, which I miss, but morning worship has not been a problem at all. I think maybe God has wanted us to be there because we both came away from those services with something very worthwhile.
We will be traveling again soon to CTCA for another treatment. Scans will take place after 2 more treatments. Please pray that we will have a good report!
Again, I can not emphasize enough how we appreciate your thoughts and prayers and your concerns and love for us at this time. Please keep in touch with us and God bless each of you!
I love you both so much, and your strengths in this whole ordeal have been inspirational. My thoughts and prayers are with yall, as always. We will beat this cancer, once and for all! =]
ReplyDeleteAlot of people include you both in their prayers. People you don't even know. I, for one, love and respect you both so much. Not only for being great parents to me but also for what you are going thru and the way you handle this whole thing.
