Kicking Cancer

Nate came home on Wednesday and has been sleeping a lot to start getting his strength back. We keep thinking that we have an idea of what each round of chemo will be like be each one brings its own challenges although I think that we are now expecting the unexpected.
Nate is focused on gaining strength and if the previous rounds are any indicator as soon as his strength returns he will be focused on returning life to normal.
The next step will be a bone marrow aspiration to asses his white blood cell count. Following that we will sit down with his doctors and discuss a bone marrow transplant, more rounds of chemo and other options. We will keep you posted.

Regardless of what comes next, it must be a relief for Nate to be HOME at the moment. Rest up, my friend. Will you be able to eat steak again sometime soon I hope?

Blessings ~

GO! Nate! Every Chemo is somewhat the same and entirely different in the particulars--those side effects keep us all on our toes. Rest up . . . and resume! Cheryl and Don
