in the home stretch...

james is in the final weeks of treatment, and things are going alright. after having some weeks off he was feeling much better and the rash was calming down. now, with 2 weeks of treatment in him, it is all returning. it doesn't seem as bad yet, so we'll keep hope that the lower dose will keep it that way.

we don't have to meet with our dr. anymore, before the treatments, which makes for a really quick appointment! this week we were in at 9am and done at 12:45. it would have been earlier than that, but the lab for blood work had some problem. it was nice to be done early for once! we had lunch and then went to see avatar... he has been waiting so long to see it. we really enjoyed it!

next week he is going to travel by himself, and make it a quick 2 day trip. he'll be home late tuesday night, and i'll be able to be home with the kids for the whole week. abbie will love this, as she has been really desperate for time with me. it will be nice to give it to her all week!

after next week there is another treatment with an MRI. then the following week he has a PET scan and the final treatment. we'll see what they say after the scans, to see if there are any changes in the size of the tumors they are targeting.

thank you to everyone who has given their time and treasure to help us through these months. everything has gone really well, in all aspects, and we thank God for providing that for us.

have a great weekend!
