Chemo number 2...down and done

After many hours at the infusion center, chemo number 2 is behind me. Infusion is so strange as the apprehension turns to a form of excitement knowing they are injecting chemicals aimed at those hungry cancer cells. For some reason, both treatments made me feel like Superman. Enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner afterward with Anna, Ryan, and Micah. Probably ate more in one meal than in the previous three or four days. But they did say that red meat helps with my red blood cell production, so I guess you could say the steak was under doctors orders...oh yeah.

  1. Brownie, you have the best attitude of anyone I know. Have always admired you for that. Sending up a steady stream of prayers for your restored health and for your sweet family. When I saw you last month at the Princess Diner I didn't know there was anything wrong. Would have hugged your neck twice if I had.

  4. Read this today and thought of you, Mike:

    "The Lord's people are to enjoy security in places of the greatest exposure: wilderness and woods are to be as pastures and folds to the flock of Christ. If The Lord does not change the place for the better, He will make us the better in the place. The wilderness is not a place to dwell in, but The Lord can make it so; in the woods one feels hound to watch rather than to sleep, and yet the Lord giveth His beloved sleep even there. Nothing without or within should cause any fear to the child of God. By faith the wilderness can become the suburbs of heaven and the woods the vestibule of glory" (Spurgeon). He's talking about cancer being a trip to the Boundary Waters, Brownie. And while I can't understand how, I believe how. And though I have no idea what it's like to be in your bed, I believe God is making you "better in the place". Keep going! You're a great camper and you can do it.

    1. Thanks everyone for the prayers and encouragement. And yes Chris, this is definitely a trip to the wilderness, which usually brings a strong reminder of the power and majesty of our God. Thanks bro.
