TIRED IS THE NEW NORM…

As some of you may already know, my husband’s Oncologist made the decision to stop his chemotherapy treatments and pursue an alternate form of treatment.  The Oncologist felt that the chemo was not doing what it should have been doing, and the scans proved his thought correct.  Instead of losing time by waiting longer on the chemo, he saw a window of opportunity for James to benefit from a new treatment.  The last three treatments of chemo have gotten noticeably worse over the weeks with each infusion, so it made sense to explore a new treatment plan.  

After going over all the side effects, he was looking forward to this new treatment and began the first infusion on Wednesday August 21st.  He gladly was willing to take these measly effects over what he experienced the prior six weeks with the chemotherapy.  Unfortunately, what we thought was not going to happen ended up happening and all he did was trade one bad thing for another.  He is so tired and drained!!!  I cannot even explain what he is going through on a daily basis.  I do not give him enough credit because there are days that I know he gets up on the weekends for me and the kids, not for him, but for US.  He would not have it any other way either.  It’s crazy to imagine what he’s going through when most of us just get tired from a long day at work while he gets tired doing simple daily activities.  He loves his yard work and it’s hard for him to watch his beloved lawn get uglier and uglier so if anyone would like to offer some yard work, we gladly accept (Totally Kidding!!! LOL). Words can’t express how much I love this man.  I love him more than I love myself and I can’t fathom the thought of life without him.  I continue to ask for your prayers daily as we continue this fight against cancer. Love you all!
