Quick Update...

Allen returned home from his first business trip since being diagnosed.  Of course there was a TON of prep that went into getting everything ready for him to go - pills, cleaning supplies, special snacks, food, and drinks, etc.  But, it was all worth it when he made it home with no incidents while being away.  For this trip, he was able to drive.  But, in a couple of weeks there will be another BIG test when he has to go on a germy airplane (wearing his mask of course) for another business trip.  We are trying to just take it one day, one week, one hurdle at a time.

Next week is a BIG week for Allen.  He will have another round of scans.  We are hoping and praying that these scans will show that his chest mass has continued to SHRINK A LOT and that his ENTIRE BODY is CANcer FREE! They are scheduled for Wednesday morning at 9:00, and we should have the results from The CANcer Ninja on Friday morning at Allen's regular chemotherapy appointment.  Next Friday's treatment will mark #9, meaning he will have only THREE more to go.  Three sounds like a doable number with the end very near in sight.  In the meantime, we have to try and keep Allen healthy.  This is not an easy feat considering he literally has no immune system right now, and we have two very active, germy kiddos.  It is surprising we have any surface left on the light switches, remotes, door handles, banisters, etc with all the bleach wiping we do.  But, if it works, it is SO worth it.

Please join us in our hopes and prayers for AMAZING, CANcer FREE, SHRINKING tumor, scans next Wednesday!  Thanks so much!
