Pepsi time!

Brief news flash!

I'm now able to drink pepsi again.  Still a couple small mouth sores but my mouth is almost back to normal.

More praises!

I returned last night from 4 days of golf at Myrtle Beach.  Good group, good golf courses, hot, not such good golf but lots of fun.

I had my between-rounds Dr. appt. and echo-cardiogram today.  The echo showed no damage to my heart as expected - they do that occasionally just as a safety precaution.  The dr. verified that I'm doing 'good' and my body is tolerating chemo well.

The next round of treatments start June 6 and we're scheduled for the next round of scans on July 7 (that's when we spend the day at Baptist hospital).  Thank you for your continued prayers - please continue to pray that round 4 will be even less uncomfortable and the scans will show even more reduction of tumors.

Meanwhile, God is in control - what more can we ask!

Busy Week!

Sunday will end round three of chemotherapy!  While it's not the same as being off treatment, side effects have not been bad (burned tongue, fatigue, unsettled stomach at times, acid reflux at times).  I'm very thankful that even though there are some discomforts at time, I'm able to carry on a regular schedule.
For example, this week:
We worked at Storehouse for Jesus two days(both part-days)
Played two rounds of golf (also 1 rain out)
Played monopoly one night (lost miserably)
Trimmed and mowed our grass (pushed)
Watched Gracie's soccer game but missed Isaiah's baseball game
Played 'mexican train' dominoes one night
Wrote bills (the most exhausting activity of the week)

That may not be much for a lot of you, but for an old retired person, that's a busy week.  Next week, I'm hoping to play more golf and work less.

Monday starts two weeks off and I have a Dr. appt. Thurs. - just a check-up/blood test after each round.

Thanks for the prayers!

I know it's been a while since I last posted anything.  Sorry.  I'm doing well and going about doing my regular "stuff" so I haven't had anything worth saying.  I could tell you how often I've been playing golf but that could sound like bragging.  Or, I could tell you my golf scores but that would be embarrassing...to me!  Therefore, I've just not written anything.  But I know and have been assured that many of you continue to pray even if I don't write anything and I thank you for that.

This weekend completes week 3 of this cycle and effects have been minimal.  One more week and I get another break.  Thanks again for your continued support and prayers.
