| It seems the closer we get to the 8th chemo session with CT to follow the more anxious I become--The CT will reveal if the tumor has shrunk enough to do surgery to remove the tumor. He just completed his 6th round with very limited side effects-mostly cold sensitivity in his hands and he is very fatigued-one bright spot he has put on a few pounds and his appetite is still very good. His hair is definitely getting thinner and he misses being back at the office. Our summer here in the great north woods seems to be winding up and I have noticed a tinge of color already-I am dreading winter-it's always difficult here. I want to say thank you ladies for all of the encouragement we have received-and all of the prayers. We appreciate it very, very much. I will continue to post updates-Take care. Love, Mel |

Melody, thank-you for your tastes update. I am glad that chemo is almost finished. Will be keeping you both in my prayers that the medicine has done its work and surgery can be the next step. Gosh, hint of early fall sounds wonderful to me down here in Florida where we are trying to move past the wreckage of Hurricane Debby left as it blew through Sunday night. Enjoy those little hints of fall as they can be so beautiful and uplifting. Take care and Thanks for stopping by here!

Chemo session #7 - one more to go then CT scan to see if that sucker has shrunk. I get a pit in my stomach just thinking about it. Had a bit of an incident this morning with his fanny pack of chemo and his port--went to go for a drive with our Hildegard an 80 plus pound shelter mutt-just happened to jump up and pull his port line right out of his port-now we have toxic chemo fluids-daughter raced him to the cancer center-thank goodness it was a weekday and had them re-attach the line and check to see if the port was still where it should be---Good grief always some drama going on here at the house and he was feeling so GOOD this morning being chemo week and all. Came home in tip top shape-port and port line secured. Anyway...just wanted to give my girls an update.
One more thing!! Thank you DEBBIE for the lovely card and thoughts-you sure know how to bring a smile to this farmgirls face....Love, Mel |

Melody thank you for the update, I bet that port mishap was so scary. Prayers that the CT scan shows much improvement. Take care.
A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

Melody -- He looks like he is keeping a good attitude. Hildegard (that was the name of our cow) might want to stay home next time. My sister had a similar episode with a blood transfusion that left the room looking like an ax murder had taken place. Keeping you and your husband in my thoughts.
