Don is home from the hospital as of the day before Thanksgiving. We are truly thankful! God continues to walk with us on this journey. He is using His people to be his hands and his feet and his heart in countless ways to us - spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. We are deeply thankful for all of you, family and friends alike, who have supported us.
Don had his first chemo treatment today. He will have 2 a week for 2 weeks, then a week off. This will run for 2 cycles. that will take us through Christmas. In early January we meet with doctors to talk about a bone marrow transplant.
Specific prayer request: That the pain in his leg would diminish as soon as possible as both radiation and chemo treatments affect the cancer. He still has severe pain when upright and trying to walk.
That he would not suffer the severe side affects chemotherapy can cause.
Thanks for your concern and continued prayers for us. They are deeply felt and appreciated.
Marcie and Don
