Week of January 13th

This week was the first full week after treatment number 5 (of 6). After receiving the great news that the tumor was almost gone we were obviously very excited. The adrenalin and excitement lasted through Saturday as Nancy met with friends, had dinner and we went and did a little shopping.

By the time Sunday rolled around the chemo started to take its toll and she was very tired. It has now been thirteen weeks since the first treatment. It takes about ten days for her to recover from the treatment. Her mom and sister continue to take care of her during right after the treatment....what a Blessing.

 She has been the ultimate trooper; doing all the doctor has asked and maintained a remarkable attitude. The support she has received from friends and family have lifted her spirits in terms we cannot express.

This time the doctor told her to take IV fluids all three weeks. Normally she gets them for the first week or week and a half. She is now able to do this at home by herself since she has the port. She takes them in basically every other day.

We go next Thursday 1/24 to meet with the surgeon to discuss the next steps.

Thanks again for the prayers, love and support.

 God Bless.
