Back Out in Public


Cheryl and I went shopping at the mall Friday afternoon and today, she was able to make it to church for the Homecoming service and fellowship afterwards. It was great to be able to see everyone and get caught up on goings on. Don't we make a cute couple in our color coordinated outfits???

We are praying that this will be the first of many weeks back in fellowship.

Chemo- Not Over Yet

Cheryl finished the second session of round six of her chemotherapy on Friday. She also had an appointment with the oncologist, Dr. Negrea. They discussed the fact that her count has not dropped as far as they would like so he is recommending that she continue chemotherapy indefinitely to keep the cancer at bay.

Since she is tolerating it well, he feels that this is the best course to follow. She will be able to go out in public again, attend church,do some shopping, etc as long as she observes reasonable precautions. The plan is for her to receive the same medicines that she has been on but it may take a bit for them to line up additional Doxil since it is in short supply. She will be on a flexible schedule so we can visit family and do some holiday traveling.

Pray that this new treatment plan will be effective and that Cheryl will continue to tolerate it well.
