Jeff is getting his CT scans right now. We're at the out patient place. Jeff's blood work yesterday showed his platelets are still too low to start chemo this week. He will have another blood test on Thursday and with the CT scan results we will determine when round 4 of chemo will start. We are both full of anxiety about the scan results. If there isn't a big decrease in the tumors, there is a possibility this chemo will be stopped. It is brutal on his body and permanent damage can occur. So we are praying with all our might that the chemo is shrinking the cancer and Jeffs body is strong enough to withstand it.
Jeff has spent a lot of time in bed this time. Very unusual for him. He got up early Tuesday to ship cattle but it seems he's used all his energy and he's back to feeling tired and wiped out. I can't stress enough that chemo is a dirty, rotten whore!
Our spirits were lifted yesterday at the Happy Breast Cancer Awareness walk. Jeff was too tired to go but the kids and I went. The entire football team walked in honor of Jeff. That was so special for our family. And it touched my hearts to see Lukes team meats also support him. Lots of goodness out there!
We'll keep you posted on test results
