This treatment is going well so far. As well as it ever does. For some reason the anti-nausea medicine isn't working as well as it normally does, but other than that nothing is really bad so far, which is good!
Still no word from the surgeon on if they are going to leave the surgery at the current date, but we are hoping it doesn't change too much. It is nice to think we are so close to being done. We are just holding our breath to know if there is anymore cancer, or if it spread. That determines the next year or more of our lives so we are anxious to know. We are praying hard to have no more cancer, but I already decided he doesn't get to have any more cancer so I guess we don't need to keep worrying! :)
Glad things this treatment:
- The staff at the center is so amazing. We have become friends with them all. I don't know what we would do without the staff there. They are so happy and positive. It is great because they are all SO different too! They each bring their only unique personality and spirit. It is great. :) Apart from being so kind, they are so good at what they do. They take such good care of Kent and the other patients there.
- The new friends we met today. Kent was extra talkative today and the other patients talking today too. We met 4 new friends today. They are all at different levels in their treatments and are all emotionally at different levels of acceptance, but I am grateful to meet them and to share stories with them.
2 of the individuals we met today told us how their treatments involve certain procedures and medications that will last the rest of their lives. We hope that they might be blessed in their journey and pray it goes well. As sad as we are that they must continue their treatments like that, we are grateful that the end of Kent's is in sight.
We decided that Kennedy is going to come with us for Kent's last treatment. 2 weeks from Thursday we are going to have him come and help his daddy ring the victory bell! You get to ring the bell on your last treatment. We think Kennedy is going to love the bell! :)
Congrats to our sweet friend who is supposed to finish he treatments next week! You made it!!
Here are a few pictures I thought they were appropriate! Chemo is a journey that isn't easy, and I admire those who go through it.
The impossible is almost DONE!!!
Almost there! That is so exciting!
