~OncoMan Appointment Today (4/23/09) For Mighty Oak~
Well today is the day we have been waiting for. Ed knew that treatment was going to be delayed until he gained enough weight. We watched his tumor markers and although they did rise since the last brain activity, we waited with purpose. My thanks to Ed for the patience he endured to try to do this, he always amazes me. He has always had a problem with weight and it seems the better he eats the more weight he loses. These last several weeks were to get fat for the fight but he has not been able to. He will have to start treatment and take his chances. By no means is he giving up, because he does still have a good fight in him, I just am petrified this time.
My main concern is that with every fight he gets a little more beat up and takes longer to rebound, weight/nutrition/strength wise. He has been such a fighter and he is ready to start again. We have had many thoughts and endless discussions about what is next. My major fears for him involves these nutrition monsters, they are major complications. So far his brain is still clean and systemically it is in the same places, last we knew. Recent bone scan results have not been discussed yet. It really does not matter where it is, it just is and needs to go. Seems like the longer amount of time we spend together, I feel that the harder it will be when that time comes. For now I do not need to go there though. So I once again ask for prayers for the Mighty Oak. May this treatment give him more of the time that we beg God for. Good Night Lovies>>Believe51 |
