Craig gained 8 pounds this week and since he is feeling good we are moving on with treatment #6. He just finished chemo drip #1 for two hours and now we are on to chemo #2 for the day. That will drip for an hour and a half then he will head home with the 3rd chemo drug.
I feel like we are back on track. He was dreading this treatment last night but this morning was geared up for it. Everyone in the office said he looked so much better than he did last week. His white blood cell count is still elevated which I still think is gallbladder issues but we will cross that bridge when we get there. We may get the report and ask another surgeon to look at the ultrasound that was taken last Monday. Was that just last Monday? Time seems to go by so slow when you are in a dark place.
We are hopeful that this treatment continues to move in the right direction. We live on the prays (cue Bon Jovi music) that you send to our heavenly father and we are so thankful for the support system we have. We pray for lower tumor marker in two weeks, and a healthy body. We pray for strength and perseverance. We pray for hopeful voices on the scary days and we pray for perseverance through this struggle.
"And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, hope."
Romans 5:2-4
