Fighting On

Tim has now had two rounds of the more aggressive chemo and has tolerated both fairly well. He is easily fatigued and is experiencing cold sensitivity.  The biggest concern is that his platelet counts continue to drop.  He is still on go for chemo tomorrow but will need to rest and avoid getting even the slightest sickness. I suspect he will stick close to the house for the coming days and not venture out.  For those of you who know Tim at all, this is going to drive him crazy.  They will check his counts again before approving chemo on November 2. We expect another scan in about a month to see if this regimen is working.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been blessed by a group of men from church who have selflessly taken care of some needed chores and repairs around the house, by a new friend and organization to help with parking at the med center, and Tim was the guest speaker  at a men’s group at Believer’s Fellowship in Spring. We know that the Lord is in control and are grateful for the blessings who provides.  Pray with us for limited side effects, no sickness for any of us, and for the tumors to be reduced in size - gone completely would be great.
