Chemo Eve

Ever heard of Chemo Eve? Well, it is this new holiday we usually celebrate surrounded by our kiddos trying to enjoy every last moment before chemo starts again. It is not a highly anticipated holiday...but it always involves a good dose of fun and a bigger dose of dread.

Tomorrow at 9:30 we will be checking into the Huntsman once again to begin Round 4. We are going with the same medication as before...Doxorubicin and Cisplatin. Somewhere between this round and the next we will have a CT scan to determine if this regimen is working. We feel really good about it and Trent has not had any pain in his chest for quite a while. That has got to be a good sign. Trent has gotten better and better each day. He still tires quite easily but he has been able to stay up for longer periods of time and resume some normal activities. He no longer uses crutches at all although whether he should is still up for debate! I want to make sure his muscles are trained as well as they can be to minimize a limp. But Trent doesn't like being dependent on them. We'll see what the doc says...

We are heading into Round 4 with a positive, optimistic attitude. We are anxious for confirmation of what we feel is happening. We are still praying constantly that the cancer will be completely erradicated from his body and he will live a long healthy life with his family, as long as it is the Lord's will.
