Family, and Chemotherapy - Round 5

We so enjoyed visits from my brother, Robert, and his family last week as well as my big sister and a few of her kids, and my parents.  We had a great time together.  We are so grateful for and energized by our loving families.

We met with Dr. Danko on Monday, and I had my 5th round of chemotherapy this past Tuesday, the 19th.  Things went as planned with nothing out of the ordinary.  

I don't know that I have expressed how grateful I am to have Mindy with me at all of my appointments and treatments.  She is such a strength to me, and a great comfort.  Despite the circumstances, we have both really enjoyed spending more time around one another these past few months.

I have been continuing to receive an IV antibiotic daily at the hospital, and there has not been any complications from the infection I experienced.  Last dose is Saturday.

So, as with the week or so following other treatments, I'll have a rough time for a bit but then have some good days which I look forward to.  While we've learned enough to know we cannot predict or plan what the future holds, it is an incredible mental and morale boost to know that I only have 1 more round of chemotherapy.

And as always, we are so grateful to see, feel, and experience the hand of a loving Heavenly Father in our lives, and we are also so grateful for loving, supportive, and helpful friends and family.
