Relay for Life

This past Saturday was the first annual "Cornhole" Tournament Fundraiser for the American Cancer Society in honor of Bill held in Northern KY at Amy and Troy's.  It was a huge success and raised about $1000 for the day.  Thanks so much to everyone who attended and/or donated on behalf of Bill.  We were blown away by the outpouring of support.  Everyone seemed to have fun, the weather cooperated and the food was delicious.  

Next Saturday we hope to return to Northern KY for the Relay for Life where "Bill's Lifeguards" will be among the many teams walking and running to raise money and awareness for cancer.  

We have two more weeks until it's time to leave for our beach vacation, and we're counting down the days.  Bill has not had much energy lately and he doesn't have much of an appetite.  We're not sure what's going on exactly, but we saw our surgeon last week and he wants him to have some blood tests run this week.  Hopefully, the docs will be able to give him something to help increase his appetite.  We're praying that this trip to the beach happens, we all need it.  

Right now, the plan is still to have another PET scan in July as soon as we return from vacation and then begin another round of chemo.  Of course in this battle everything is tentative, plans change quite often.  

So for now we're hanging pretty close to home, taking in a movie now and then and trying to get Bill stronger.  As always, thanks for your continued prayers and positive thoughts.  Holly
