Another day at Chemo. At least this time we are refreshed after a fun vacation to Arizona. Cody did pretty good after his first round the only thing we noticed was that he had quit a bit of fatigue. His tumor count this time went down a little its now at 8.3. So .4 down we will take that. As long as its not going up we will be happy.
Cody really has been a trooper. He hates his picture taken and he just puts up with his wife. Since I have to take one every time we are there. As you can see he still has his sense of humor.
But I was persistent and made him keep taking one until he gave me a good one.
This is our good friend Jim. He is a character gives every one a hard time. Today Cody and Jim ganged up on the poor nurses. Jim has been gone for several months. We would see him every once in a while when he would come in for follow up appointments. Today was a little different. Jim started out with Pancreatic Cancer which they felt like they had caught really early. In January Jim was given a clean bill of health Cancer free. Six weeks later he came in for his follow up blood work which at that time was hit again saying something must be wrong cause his tumor count was coming back in the high 400's. What a set back this must be when you were told only 6 weeks prior that you were cancer free. He said he felt like things were going fast and he didn't know what to think about all this. This time when we saw Jim his tumor count was in the 1100 range. He's had a Pet scan and it showed that he now has cancer in his Liver. So back to chemo again for him. We were so devastated for him, but on the same hand now we have our Chemo Friend back to play with. You never want to see this kind of a set back especially to someone who you really care about. We look forward to helping him through this next journey of his. The only words that come to my mind every time I see him now is CANCER SUCKS!!!!!!
