Darell had his 4th treatment Thursday.
On Wednesday he saw the doctor and his labs were really good. I asked about whether 6 treatments will put him in remission as a general rule of thumb. Dr McCrosky said yes but I think seeing David there with us made him double think. He decided to have Darell have a CAT scan Tuesday so he can see what the progress the chemo is having on the cancer. I think that is good. It would be very hard to do all 6 and think wow we made it and still have it there. Yes I know this is possible but it still would not be easy to deal with. So if there hasn't been enough shrinkage in the tumors then Darell will have 8 chemo sessions and check again.
As far as this treatment, this one is kicking him like his first one did. He is really wiped out this time. We have just been laying low here at home. Currently both my boys are napping. Peace and quiet for me. Wow. I think we may stay home again tomorrow and rest up some more. Monday will come soon enough and Darell will have to go back to work.
By the way, what's with snow in April in Washington?!

As Darelle's mom taking him to his treatment this time meant a lot to me. It meant I got to sit with him while he is in the fight of his life. But it also made me sad - I saw all of the other cancer patients come and go and so many of them looked so sick that it just broke my heart. I did a lot of praying for all of those people. I had to move once so the nurse good put a new bag up for Darell and as I sat across from him I just said to my self how very much I love him. He is such a wonderful son - husband and father. I hope I will be able to sit with him again even though I get sad I just admire Darell's out look and drive he has battling cancer. Trust me I would rather be the one going through this then my son any day.
Donelle I just want you to know that I'm always here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. You are a wonderful wife and mother.

God bless you all.
