Round 5 of chapter 3

Wednesday February 9

Today was another round of maintenance work chemo.  Cody has been doing very well so far.  We have been so blessed with his health staying so well during these past months.  We are starting our 9th month of Chemo.  Wow how time has flown by.  Its hard to think our year mark is just around the corner.  

We met with the Dr. today and so far everything is looking text book.  Its been about 4 weeks since our last CT scan, but he doesn't think its necessary to do another one yet unless his tumor count exceeds 4.0.  The last few weeks its been staying in the 3 range, but has been bumping up a little every time.  This can be completely normal when its below a 5. So our decision was if its below a 4 we would wait 2 weeks if its a 4 or higher we would go forward with our routine CT.  So we did the blood work and we will know the verdict on Friday.

We have met some of the most amazing friends at chemo.  The lady in the picture with Cody is Stacy.  Stacy and her family are part of ours now.  They have to be the most giving incredible people we have ever met.  We just hit it off perfectly.  It felt like we have known them for quit sometime.  This week became quit a party.  We had the nurses blushing and everyone laughing with all the many stories that were being told.  Nobody wanted to leave that day for it really became a party. Stacy's mom is also one of the most incredible people out there.  She has become the Chemo mom.  Every week she calls down and takes every ones lunch orders.  She dose not take no for an answer either.  If you don't order she will make sure she orders extra so there is plenty for everyone in the chemo room, nurses and Dr.

Stacy has been fighting Breast Cancer and next week is her very last treatment.  We are so happy for her, but yet very sad to be loosing our Chemo buddies.  They have helped us in so many ways they will never know.  They have touched our lives in so many ways.
