Very Important...please read

Ok guys tomorrow's the big one (I used the largest, boldest font I have). Tomorrow at 12:30 Eric will be having his follow-up PET scan and a CT scan. Please if you've done nothing else that I've asked you to do please do this for me...pray. Pray for cancer free lymph nodes. If you don't pray than cross your fingers, or throw a penny in a well, or salt over your shoulder, or dig out that old rabbits foot you had in seventh grade and rub it like crazy. But if you pray, please pray for the cancer to be defeated. Eric met with the radiologist oncologist today, they will wait for the results from the scans tomorrow to set a plan for his radiation. Tomorrow is a big day, guys please pray he gets good results.

Friday he will be having a PET scan, for those of you that joined us late in the game, or don't remember what a PET scan is see this link PET Scan: PET Scans and Cancer Once these two appointments are completed we should have a bigger picture of what further treatments are necessary, your prayers will be very important those two days.

It's the final countdown

I wish I could sing the song for you!! I only know the background music to that song...Today is a HUGE day!! As I type Eric may very well be receiving his last chemo treatment, we won't know if it is in fact the final treatment until his PET scan next week. But there are some very good signs that it is his last, what are those signs you ask? Well the swollen lymph nodes that caused such a problem can no longer be "felt" in his neck or underarms, this is a huge indicator that the cancer has been defeated!! Although this is his last treatment Eric is still dreading it as much as the first, maybe more so because he knows the sickness that is about to come. He will be reading this from his bed in the infusion room during his treatment so if you would like to post any encouraging thoughts, prayers, or anything else please do!! Eric I wanted to be there today for you, I had planned to, but of course my sick kids have changed those plans, just know I will be praying for you all day, I hope thats enough. He has a full schedule coming up, of which I will inform you of later, for now lets all focus our prayers on this treatment, hopefully his last.

My apologies...

It has been brought to my attention that in my previous post there was a spelling error. I want to take a moment to apologize to all of you that were effected by this misspelling, it was a gross error on my part and shall in no way be reflective of my upbringing :0)

Chemo yesterday

Eric did a little better yesterday, he slept through his entire treatment. But afterwards was quite nauseated, this is to be expected. We wish he wasn't feeling yucky, but soon, very soon we all know things will be better!!
