It seems like it has been awhile since I have posted on here. I know I posted on the other blog but not this one.
Today is Saturday- the 20th I believe. We are home for the weekend and are heading back down to Boise tomorrow-late afternoon. And we are taking the kids with us for the entire week- so that should prove exciting!
Craig is doing ok. His fatigue has increased- but he is eating thru the tube and is getting the nutrition he needs. He needs to up his hydration- but we might end up having him do that in the infusion room at the hospital. The fluid thru his veins- although longer to take than putting it in his tube- his body seems to utilize it better. So now weight loss is at a minimum- though at 132 he can't afford to lose any more weight.
Tuesday is his last chemo- we are so excited. Then after that I believe he has 12 more radiation treatments- we will know if he is cured about 3 months after the last go-round of radiation- at least that is what the docs say. He is also going to find out about a biopsy and some liver tests- it looks like those might take place in January- and if it is decided he needs treatment for his Hep C then that will be 6 months-but from what I understand it is 3 days a week- and something that can be done in McCall with lab and checkups in Boise.
I am very thankful for everyone who calls or writes to check up on us- we are hanging in there and doing the best we can. Craig is EXTREMELY grumpy and irritable- but I'm chalking that up to the stress and cancer. That would be enough to make anyone grumpy!
Best wishes to all
