Mark had a much better day today. This is his off week of chemo and hopefully will be a good one. Unfortunately, it will be short because of the holidays and late start last week. We will get back on the Monday through Wednesday schedule next week. This evening, Mark took Colton to basketball practice and then we had a late dinner. Calen was sick today and came home from school early. I left work around 11 to get him as I didn't really want Mark exposed to any unnecessary germs.
Tomorrow evening will be Calen's first basketball game. Hopefully he will have rebounded (no pun intended) by then and be ready to play. He seemed to be feeling somewhat better this evening.
We look forward to all the activity that will take place following the next chemo round. It seems like forever waiting for the next CT scan or test, but in reality we've only known of Mark's illness for less than 3 months now and a lot has happened in those 3 months.
Since I was home this afternoon, I did some research and found a new drug that looks very promising for cancer in a Phase I trial and also new data about surgery outcomes from some surgeons in Australia(thier paper was just published December 07). I copied the article to discuss with our surgeon here in Birmingham later this month and also with the doctors at Sloan Kettering.
Keep the prayers coming. We are truly blessed to have so many of them coming Mark's way. Take care and God bless!!
