  • ROUND 11

    Well, the last two weeks weren't good, as they were definitely far from it. Until 10 minutes ago, I didn't know if he would even continue with this round of treatment. The tiredness is really starting to get to him. He also now has a broken tooth that's in the nerve, which is sheer pain, he can't get it pulled until after chemo treatments are done. You know Chris; not being able to go go and do things upsets him. They did give him a little prescription to help with pain, pray it works. However, here we are, not quitting and still fighting the fight! The information we got today was actually a little different from what we've been thinking this whole time. Yes, the doctor wants to get to 12 treatments with "this dose"; but, it looks like they're still scheduling a round 13. What that appointment will be, will not be known until that day. We thought after the 12th we were done for a while, but maybe not. They scheduled a CT scan to happen between 12th and 13th round, that will determine the plans going forward at 13th round. I know how hard it is for him, and I see how it is, and I'm so proud of his strength and determination. Still pulls off a little sarcastic ass sometimes, as you can see 💙
