We are all checked in and back in the big room - 689. Jeff got here this morning and he got the best nurse. That was a great way to start. I stayed home all day and cleaned house and did laundry. I'm here with Jeff now and we are about to go to bed. His brother, Ron was here with him and I brought him a chicken fried steak from Salt Grass. So far, so good.
I'm surprised at how tired we are. We went longer between chemo rounds this time but it wasn't enough time to recoup. We are weary and Jeff is starting to seem frailer although his weight was pretty good. I think mentally it is so hard to prepare for this - knowing what is to come. We should have the final scan results by late Tuesday or Wednesday. That issue is still weighing heavy on my heart. I am going to hold a grudge for a little bit longer. Jeff has let it go and is at peace with his decision to continue treatment.
Jeff's niece, Rachel has also been battling cancer. She also received treatment at MDA. During our first trip down there they were there. Rachel and David are a lot younger than we are and we thought we would comfort them. But they were the ones who took care of and comforted us. They are strong and faithful and brave. Rachel has fought a very tough battle and just received the news that her cancer is back. It was a crushing blow to hear that news. Please pray for David and Rachel. They are young and sweet and totally undeserving of this horrible disease. Who is keeping the score? Why isn't it understood that we should only be given so much grief and heartache? There should be a limit. God, are you listening?
Bracing for the storm,
Jeff and Leta
