We are officially over with the chemo for round #4. . . .nearly to the halfway point in our treatment.....Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah!!!!!Never thought I would be so excited over a halfway marker, but this momma is. We go to the hospital the next three nights just for a bag change (fluids with magnesium, potassium, etc. only) then home. Hopefully no more than 1 hour of time. All has gone well this round so far. Tonight is the night for the Neulasta shot which sometimes has some flu like side effects. Last round there were no side effects, so hoping for the same this round. The shot is to keep his bone marrow white blood cells from falling too low. My little (big really) Wolfman is a real trooper. I sure would have hated to have been through what he has been through the past 11 months. It is hard to believe we have been at MD for nearly three months. Thank you all for all you have done during our journey here. Thanks for taking care of our dogs, mowing our lawn, praying, the contributions to the medical fund, sending cards to cheer up the Wolfman and calling just to chat. We will never be able to repay all the acts of kindness you have shown. Pray for us that our appointment with the doctor can be rescheduled June 10 so that we may make the trip home. It is scheduled for 3:30pm and we are trying to get it changed to the morning. We really want to see the doctor that day as we have scans done on Wednesday before so we would like to see the new scans to compare with the last. Michael is praying for a complete cure of the cancer.......said it would be nice if the doctor couldn't find any sign. Whatever the results, we are still praising the Lord.
Terri and Michael
