Chemo Round 1

It's horrible - I don't know how else to say it. Watching someone go through this is heart wrenching. All the terrible side effects you hear about, came true - plus more. We refuse to let it get us - we know if it's this bad, it's this bad on the cancer cells too. And the good news is, Joe should start feeling a little better each day. His pack was removed and he doesn't have to start again until Jan 23rd. They tell us the side effects will carry on through the week, but should subside somewhat. He got his small intestine tests done today and we should get the results on the 23rd. The tissue samples won't be back for a few weeks.

Good news is my mom is finally out of the hospital. After 2 weeks, she looks like she is on the road to recovery. They also figured out what was wrong with Amanda's back, so she starts treatment as well. Good things are coming our way.

Thanks to all for the support. The cards keep coming and the smiles are plenty at the Kahler's thanks to all of you.

We most sincerely appreciate the outpouring of support. You guys are the best.

With all our love,
Joe and Sherrie
XOXO
