Brian and Taralu

Hello all,

Well we hope that Brian is now 1/2 way through his treatments. The reason I say it that way is, after his 4th treatment, we go for another PET scan to tell us what the tumor looks like and what the cancer activity is doing. After the Doctor looks at that, we will know where we are in his treatments. From those of you who have seen him through this, you know that he is feeling and looking better so we know that this Chemo stuff is working! Our next chemo date is 5/30/12 then 6/20/12 and hopefully his final will be 7/11/12. We are switching to Wednesday now as his Doctor is no longer taking patients on Thursday's.

Brian continues to amaze me with how he is taking this on. The Chemo has not had negative effects on him other then he gets tired VERY easily. But the sickness that normally comes with it is just not there! Thank you god. His hair is mostly gone and he is losing eye lashes and stuff. But it will all come back! The Chemo brain is getting to him; he forgets conversations and has a hard time with remembering really anything. This should also pass.

He is more involved in the gym which is such a blessing to him. For me to see how people are when they see him warms my heart!

If I can tell you guys anything about how this has affected us, I would say, do not judge. It is hard to know what is going on in the lives of people that are affected by something like this. They do the very best that they can to make it through every day. Until you have walked in their shoes, you really have no clue what they deal with on a minute to minute basis.

As always, I thank you guys for your support of Brian! He is an AMAZING man and he love you guys!!
