Here we are again. Mike started another new chemo - Avastin - after seeing the doctor today. His pulse rate is down and his weight is the same. Dr. Khan doesn't feel anything. His liver is still soft (good). However, the cough is still hanging on and it could mean that the cancer is progressing. Dr. Khan has ordered a CT Scan. It may take a week or so for that. Please be in prayer over the CT Scan. Pray that is shows the miraculous results and not disease progression.
Mike and I then went into the chemo room for about a 3 hour IV infusion. It makes it harder when you have to pay a co-pay for it too. Here is $12, now poison me :)! We will go back tomorrow for the other Chemo drug. This one is a little different. Their is a premeditation that I am going to pick up at Walgreens today. He needs to take it today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. He will go in tomorrow for the chemo. This chemo will cause him to lose his hair again.
We got home today after lunch and I arrived to medical bills. I just let out a huge sigh and think, "Here we go again." Just in case you are wondering, it never gets easier. It never becomes routine. Time goes on, and cancer still sucks. (That should be a bumper sticker or something, don't you think?)
I refuse to end the blog on that note. It sounds so depressing. Yes cancer sucks, but God is bigger than cancer. God has never left us. Mike is His visible handiwork. Mike is a miracle and what I am thankful for is His physical presence. His angels roaming this earth that know the perfect time to send an email, visit, and respond to our S.O.S. We are still a family. We have one more day.... so I am going to use the rest of it to remember where we have been, who brought us through, and focus on Him.
Prayer needs:
Mike to gain weight, health, CT Scan, Acid Reflux to subside, protection from harmful side effects of chemo, cough to go away, and both mental and physical energy
Financial wisdom
House and move details
Emotional healing
Praises:
A home for us
Neighborhood block party's
beautiful weather
day off from school
