Yes, It's Been a While

It's been over a month since my last post, but there honestly hasn't been much to say.  Tim's infusions have continued every other Friday and weekend with only one minor hiccup.  We never know how he is going to react from one infusion to the next.  His last treatment he experienced almost no symptoms, while the one before that made him extremely sick.  Before his last infusion, he began running a fever and we were at the point of having to go the the MD Anderson Emergency Clinic down at the medical center.  Luckily, he had an appointment with the oncologist the next next day and because there were no other signs or symptoms of infections, they continued with chemo as scheduled.

He's seen the nutritionist twice in the last month and any of you who know Tim very well know that he did not like the changes they want him to make.  It's definitely a slow process, but he is trying new things - wheat bread with seeds, green vegetables, and WATER!

Moving forward - Tim had an MRI and CT today, sees his oncologist tomorrow, chemo on Friday, and then sees both of the surgeons on Monday. Pray that the cancer is reduced or at least stable - NO GROWTH! More to come after Monday.
