Feeling Fairly Well

I made it through this last VAC (all three chemos) better than I have ever before. Praise the Lord! While I am still tired and my muscles feel strange, like normal, my stomach didn’t hurt near the same as it has the past three times. And, that makes a big difference in how I feel. Thank you for all your prayers, they are working. I also had another consultation with my doctors the day of my VAC treatment where they informed me that I no longer have to take one of my at home medications. The purpose of that medication was to protect my kidneys from large amounts of uric acid that accumulates as the tumors shrink. I still have numerous tumors in my body, it is just that I guess a good portion of the mass as been flushed out. We also talked about my future treatment, which as of now will be two more cycles of my three-week treatment plan. In six weeks I will have another CT scan and possibly another bone marrow biopsy (not looking forward to that one and I am still six weeks away!!!). Then we will have to see where I go from there. I am trusting that God has it all under control and appreciate the many prayers that I know are still pouring out!

Some of you may know that I was hoping on being able to attend my cousin’s wedding in Ohio this weekend. I believe I am feeling up to it so I am planning on being there and seeing a lot of family this weekend, which I am really looking forward to.

May God’s peace be with us all,
Nathan
