Great news… since Tim got fluids last Tuesday he has been feeling sooooo GOOD! The fluids definitely helped him and it seems that this new medicine has kicked in and is helping him to put some weight on!!!! Yay… so happy. We had a wonderful couple of days away with the Cascino Family – loved every minute of it.
Tomorrow, is “THE” day… our last Chemo Infusion (we pray). He was scheduled for 6 rounds and tomorrow is the 6th. We are so very, very happy. We dread the feeling crappy part, but we can muscle through as we always have especially knowing he will be done. We will find out tomorrow when they plan to schedule his next scan to CONFIRM that the chemo worked.
We are incredibly thankful to have made it through all 6 rounds. It sure has been a rough ride with lots of ups-and-downs but I can say that again, this time, we’ve come out a stronger “four” than we were going in. We know that together we can get through anything. That having family and friends like you in our corner fighting, cheering, praying and pushing us is an amazing blessing. A blessing that we most definitely do not take for granted. It is overwhelming sometimes the love that we feel and the fullness in our hearts; I so wish there was a way for me to express to you what it means to us. This cancer crap is the scariest road we’ve ever been down and this road for us, never seems to have an end. There are so many twists and turns and we are going 100 mph and cannot put the brakes on and it is overwhelming. The feeling is always there that we are going to crash, that the road is going to be too much for us to maneuver but here we are… we are crossing the finish line (again) and my goodness, it will feel so good. The thought of the upcoming scan is beyond frightening, but for now, we will shake our pom-poms and cowbells and make lots of noise to celebrate this part of treatment – because WE DID IT!!!!! I am so proud of us. I love us. I love my Husband so very deeply and he has again, been an incredible inspiration and example of perseverance for me, Skyler and Mackenzie. They are so much stronger than yesterday and will be stronger tomorrow than today. HE has done that for them… they’ve seen him in some really low places, but get to see him fight his way back. I am blessed. We are blessed.
Gosh, we did it…. July 6th is almost here. Thank you all so very much. Almost time to do the HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XOXO, Denise
