Hello all,

Well we did our 4th treatment yesterday! Brian continues to amaze me on how he does with these! Thankfully he does not suffer any of the nausea from Chemo however, his body is starting to pay the price for it! His hips hurt almost constantly and he has started to have tingling in his fingers and toes. and his Chemo brain has gotten VERY bad! He forgets things easily and that is bothering him as I think it would anyone! So if you have called or texted him and you have not heard back from him, try again as he may have forgotten about it.

We should have the PET scan on the 12th which will answer a lot of questions for us. What is the cancer doing and is there still any activity in the bone marrow. Brian is very nervous about this test. He has been having nightmares about results coming back bad. So this will be a long wait to get in there and get this done!

At his treatment yesterday, he wore his shirt that I bought for him Lime green of course and it says "I have chemo brain what is your excuse" OMG they all loved it! when we went in for the white blood cell booster today they were still talking about it! They love him there.

Brian's Dad will be here for a week or so with us again and we are very much so looking forward to that. He is coming to stay with Brian while I go to Park City to do my certification! I think he will be here for Fathers Day what a great thing that will be! Then my Mom, Brother and family come in for a shot visit on the 22nd.

We have been told many times that Brian makes this look easy, I am here to tell you he is the strongest man I know! He does have some down times and we have tried to keep them to us. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers and please remember to text or call him when you can!

As always thanks for reading!
