Treatment #6

So the Dr. told us that after every treatment the side effects should be the same. Well I guess Josh just wants to be different. Each one is very different. This time he is tired and his struggling with breathing every now and again. Don't worry it isn't concerning, he just has to take a deep breath sometimes. Also his body hurts a lot this time. He is still very tired after, but the nausea is still better. With the exception that he did throw up when he was in the treatment room. I think it is psycological though. :) I am very proud of Josh this weekend. My brother and his family were in town for the holiday weekend to celebrate David's 1st birthday. Josh came to the birthday party and stayed at my parents all day with us on Sat. Then for our usual Sunday dinner at my parents house he came to that, and on Monday(Memorial Day) he came to my parents house for a family BBQ before my brothers family went back to CA. He had to leave work early yesterday and he was very tired and not feeling that well and I think it is because he over did it this weekend. But I am very greatful that he did so we could spend time as a big happy family. That doesn't happen very often.

A few of you have complained that I don't post about the girls. I will try to get a post up about them shortly. I have to find the time to upload some pictures. It is on my to do list. :)

Treatment & a Scan

So Josh had a scan on Tuesday to see how things are going with the Chemo treatments. The results weren't what we were hoping for but they are good. The mass in the beginning was at 6.6 and now it is 2.3. And the lymph node was at 2.1 x 1.7 cm and is now 1.2 x 0.8 cm. So it isn't gone, but it has shrinked significantly. He also had another treatment yesterday. There is one medicine that he gets during his treatment that is what they call a push treatment so they push it in his IV instead of having the drip bag, it isn't a very fun one and Josh gets a little nausous during it. Well each time it gets a little worse and this time he had to stop the nurse because he was going to throw up. So that is getting worse with each treatment but the nausea is getting better after. So I guess we will have 3 more treatments and then another scan. So we will pray that it is gone next time. Thank you again for all you do for us, it is appreciated more than you know.
