Al is currently getting chemo. He wasn't able to get it on Wednesday because his kidney function was still too low. He is also a little bit more anemic now. His knee is hurting and he hasn't done anything to injure it, so we don't know what that's about. They x-rayed it today and the doctor couldn't find anything. They also took blood to determine if he has gout. We'll find out on Monday. They told me to take him to the emergency room if he develops a fever. I sure hope that doesn't happen. He only has 2 treatments left. They will give him fluids on Monday since he won't be getting any over the weekend. I hope he has a decent weekend.

Nancy,
You are doing a great job. With only two sessions left, rest a sure that you and Al can get through this.
Today marks Dave's 1 year point as a cancer survivor and he is better than ever - his only lasting side effect is the loss of his mustache.
Actually it seems a lot longer than a year ago that I was in your shoes. Remember to keep the faith, you have the end in sight. Take it one day at a time and get a nap in when you can.

God Bless,
Marjie
