The Start Of Round Two

Wow, I am really behind on updates here, for that I sincerely apologize. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and our wish to you is to have a wonderful and blessed 2011.

I need to go back to Dave's pet/ct scans that were done in mid November, 2010. We received the results after Thanksgiving and we saw Dr. Koenig here in the Akron area, he then sent us to the oncologist in Cleveland at Univ. Hosp. There is still some cancer in his upper right chest area but nothing in the lungs that they could tell at that time. Dave had to have 3 more rounds of chemotherapy and has one treatment left. The same medications are being used, just like before. The chemotherapy is doing what it's supposed to be doing!

Now back to January 2011. Dave has been doing well considering all that he is going through. His hair was growing back (looks like a military cut) and even though he is back in treatment it has not fell out yet, but has thinned considerably. He had lost some weight during the first round, and had started gaining it back before round 2 started. He has only lost a couple of pounds of the weight he had gained and is actually maintaining a steady weight during this round.

Dave will be completing his last treatment on January 25, 2011 and we will then be waiting for the next set of pet/ct scans, hopefully to be done sometime in late March or early April, 2011.

The power of prayer is being proven in my husband, so let's keep on praying that this round of chemo does the job it is designed to do. We love you and God Bless.
