We're in chemo now--yay! (Good news). Just finishing the 5 hour session (good news). Able to have chemo because his hematocrit stayed up to 27.5 (very good news). He has a very large (4"x8") red, hot sport on the outside of his surgery leg (good news because it may show where the blood is coming from and where it is going and not-so-good news because we have to go through more testing and possible surgery to repair).
I'll update more later but we just finished and are heading for an ultrasound and x-ray. The colonoscopy yesterday showed no problems at all, so that, also, is both good and not-so-good news.
It's definitely a mixed bag right now but we are doing great.
A note from LeeR: any time without pain is a good time. (He's been in lots of pain lately and is having to take morphine. Right now he's three hours out from morphine and feeling good).
We both love you all and are so grateful you are in our lives. xoxox!
When our children were young, we taught them a song titled "The World's Greatest Father." Now, 20-something years later as our family talked about creating a blog to keep our family and friends informed on our current journey with cancer, the "kids" suggested the title of this blog. I'm sure their reasons for such a title reach way beyond the song, although perhaps echoing the last line-- LeeR: And who's gonna love you better than any daddy ever did? Kids: YOU ARE! LeeR: That's right, kids!
