Kick off six...

Today marked the start of Dad's sixth and final round of this chemo regimen!  This was the last two-medicine treatment; a single-med treatment next week will wrap it up.  Dad will have a PET scan after that to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and then will talk with the doctor about his next treatment options.  The doctors are very pleased with Dad's progress to date and with how well he's tolerated the chemotherapy. 

We are thankful for how the Lord has blessed Dad both physically and spiritually throughout this.  We're thankful for his tolerance of the chemotherapy and that he's been able to eat and maintain his weight, a key indicator of success.  Above all, we're thankful that the Lord has walked with us on the first part of this journey and that we have the blessed confidence we'll never walk alone.  Please continue to hold Dad and Mom in prayer as they wrap-up the initial round of treatment and explore the next steps.
