As you all know, Joe had a very difficult week. We just had no idea how difficult the side effects were going to be. I am happy to report that he is doing better each day and trying to get stronger before the next treatment. He is eating a little, but has lost more weight. We got Ensure today, so hopefully that will help. The nausea and severe stomach cramps have stopped (yeah!!), but he still has fatigue, some stomach pains and a terrible sensitivity to cold. I think the worst part this week is the fear of not knowing what we are dealing with. Hopefully we will find out something soon.
We continue to receive cards, emails, phone calls and lots of support. When the girls were young, we used to have them say prayers and their favorite thing of the day before they went to sleep. Joe and I have discovered it works for adults too. So thank you all for your continued support. It gives us a lot to talk about before we go to sleep:)
With love,
Joe and Sherrie
Hey Joe. Been thinking about you and praying for you. I know you'll knock this thing out. Stay strong, and we'll see you at Teakwoods soon.
