Wow - its Friday November 20. Thanksgiving is next week and we aren't completely ready yet - but we'll keep trying. I just got done with treatment #10 - can you believe it? I felt stronger going into this treatment than any before so something must be working. So far so good - just the usual side effects.
The good news is if I have it all figured out correctly is there are only 2 more treatments left - then I can go on a maintenance program and we shall see what the cancer does then. I am REALLY looking forward to being done with the 12 chemo treatments I am on now. Every 2 weeks is draining.
We've had good sunny days lately - and that helps a lot with attitude. I am not a fan of gray, rainy days and need my dose of sun to help with the cheery outlook. We have been working on putting some Christmas lights up - and that is cheerful as well.
Next week we have lots of family coming and that will be special. Then after they are all gone I go back to the oncologist to get the latest update before the next 2 treatments start. We trust all will be more good news.
Sandy and I are reading a new book called "Anti-Cancer". Its really moving and addresses emotional and nutritional type information and is written by a doctor that had brain cancer. Its really quite eye opening to read and understand how many people are affected by all this.
All for now - I just wanted to get a quick update out. We are doing ok and actually a little better so praise the Lord for that!
