Whew!

What a long, challenging week…

The good news is that Bill is feeling a little better!

But the long term effects of chemo are really starting to catch up…

On Thursday, Bill went for a pulmonary function test.

His lung function numbers are even lower than before.  However, he spoke to our pulmonologist today, and the pulmonary doctor stated that after chemo, the numbers should go up slightly.  That’s what we are hoping for, as the shortness of breath/lung issues concern us.

On Monday, Bill will start his sixth (and hopefully last!) cycle of chemotherapy.

Monday (the first day of chemotherapy) is always a very long day, so prayers are requested.  We have lots of questions for the oncologist regarding life after chemotherapy/maintenance as well.

On another note, many of you know that Ben is a golfer – but he is also a bowler as well!

He scored his second highest score ever – a 148 – today at his bowling league!

He’ll be in a couple of regional tournaments in March and April as well…

Hooray for Ben!

This blog may be about our journey through cancer, but please know that life, in our home, happily goes on :)

We are striving, we are achieving, and we are always, always supportive of each other’s goals/wins!

Our home is a happy one, and that is one thing that cancer can’t take away from us!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Look for another update soon…
