Monday

Last Friday Scott finished the whole brain radiation, over the weekend he began to lose his hair as it came out in chunks. The girls and I cringe every time he pulls out a chunk but he smiles saying "It's only hair." We are getting many calls and visitors, Julie and Jesse began baseball and t-ball practice this week. They have their first game Thursday, both of them love playing. Although, Julie gave us a hard time not really knowing if she would like it. Hopefully we can get Scott to see a game or two, he is tired most the time. The kids and I have joined a pool not to far away, so we have another place to get out this summer so that Scott has a quiet house to rest in. I can hop in the car and arrive home in ten minutes.

Today we saw his oncologist doctor- they are still concerned with the type of cancer they believe it is small cell but it has variables of another cancer. The treatment may differ depending on if it has spread from the lungs and lymph node, we will find this out in three weeks after his first round of chemo, then a MRI to see if it had spread and see how the cancer reacts to the chemo. His treatments begin on Tuesday for three days, but we will get a better plan tomorrow after they have a conference with the pathologist, radiologist and oncologist. It looks like either way he will have chemo treatments for twelve to eighteen weeks. It's a bit of a shock for Scott and I but what ever it takes!

I'm going to have to get the kids out of the house since they can't keep their voices down and he needs to sleep. We get so much comfort in knowing that you are praying for us.

Also, we learned a couple of weeks ago that my Paperthreads co-designers have put together a Vacation & Getaways Membership, in which some of the designers are creating files of five each to offer fifty files in the membership. We can't thank them enough for putting this together in our time of need. If you would like to read more about the membership which the money will go to help our family you can click on the link.


Thank you all for your concerns and prayers! It gives us much strength in knowing so many care.

God bless!

Hugs & kisses,
Carrie
