News we have been ready to hear for one year. ..............NO MORE CHEMO AND NO MORE LOVENOX SHOTS FOR THE BLOOD CLOT! Our God is AWESOME!

WOW! From Day 1 until now I wondered if we would ever hear the words we heard today. Dr. Ravi said from the start, that the cancer has progressed further than he would like for it to, but ......we will try and if he responds well to the chemo we might have a chance.......I have said all along that God is on our side and that He is still in control of our situation. It has been a hard year but He never puts more on us than we can handle......but I have to tell you there have been some days I didn't think we could do it anymore. Some days, more than I like to think about, I didn't know if I could make the right decision or not. But, we have an awesome team who treats Michael and there has never been a moment that I didn't respect their treatment plans. They are like family........Dr Ravi's assistant came out after we left the examining room today and said this was her last day at the center in Houston. She and I both cried as she has been a light to a dark situation ever since we met her. She is definitely called of God in the position she is in.

Well, guess I need to be a little more consistent with my updates than I have been the past three months. It is sooooo nice to be home and enjoying the time we have there. We are completing our 17th or 18th round of chemo tomorrow. Next week we will be journeying to Houston on Wednesday, Scans on Thursday and Results on Friday. We are looking forward to some good news from Dr. Ravi regarding our chemo treatments......keeping our fingers crossed that we can stop for a while. The Cancer Center in Wichita Falls has been super in taking care of Michael the past few months. We have really learned to love those people and their interest in my hero. Dr. Reddy is a good oncologist and we really like him. We will keep you posted about the scans and results next week.

Well, one more day til the weekend. Looking so forward to tomorrow evening when we will be going to the Relay for Life in Archer City. The Hubbard Team will be walking for Michael along with some others. We are still selling chances for the Cross Made by Paula Kunkel at $1.00 each or 6/$5.00. The cross is beautiful......sure would like to win it myself....as I love crosses. Michael has looked forward to this for some time and wants to walk.



We have had a pretty good two weeks since the last chemo cycle. Will start another cycle on Monday, April 12, 2010. Hopefully we will get a little time off after this cycle. Have a trip planned to Houston on Wednesday, April 28, scans on April 29, and consultation with Dr. Ravi on Friday, April 30. Looking for another GREAT report. Michael is so ready to go back to work on a regular basis. He has tried several days but give out pretty easily. I think when the chemo is over, he will be more able to withstand the standing. I just wish we had more people who want to work as bad as he does. His daddy would be very proud of him and I am thankful to call him SON. He has blessed my life so much before all this and especially in the past year.
