Return to Chemo

The ups and downs that come with battling cancer can be so overwhelming at times.  We heard from the oncologist yesterday, we're scheduled to resume chemo therapy next Tuesday.  We're trying to look at this as a positive, the fact that Bill is strong enough to continue with the chemo treatments is promising.  But, it seems that as soon as he begins to feel better and resume some since of normalcy, it's time to go back into the hospital and take another hit.  

We're trying to stay strong and keep a positive attitude.  This means another 5 day stay in the hospital (University) and then another few days at home recuperating.  We've already decided that we will not have the line pulled at home again, hopefully we can avoid a repeat of our last drama.  We plan to return to the hospital or the Brown Cancer Center for that procedure from now on.  

Bill will continue with rehab until Tuesday and then get back to it after chemo when he is feeling stronger.  He enjoys the rehab sessions, in the way that one enjoys a workout, when it's over he's glad he did it.  

As always, keep in touch and thanks for your continued prayers and positive thoughts.  Holly
