Day 16 of treatment. I will be putting the day of treatment at the beginning of each Blog just to track how far we've come. We should be in the middle of the treatment but the physician team may change the number of treatments depending on the results of the current treatment. We'll keep you posted.

Tom did ok over the weekend. Tired as usual. No weight gain but no weight loss either, at least not at last weigh in on Sunday.

Our friend Jeff brought him a box of tissues in the event that while watching soap operas during the day he might need to use one. Thanks Jeff. We can all use a little humor! For those of you who don't know, Tom actually watches Court TV, not soap operas.

Tom did fairly well today. Our brother-in-law took him to his treatment and then fishing. Thank you Chickie for hanging out with him today and Pip for feeding him lunch.

I had to travel to Nashua on business today and will be working there for the remainder of the week.

Tom has an appointment with the Oncologist tomorrow as a follow-up during treatment. They will check is blood pressure, blood count, and give him another Procrit shot, if necessary. If he's dehydrated again he'll receive intravenous hydration.

Thank God for family and friends, because without them, I'm not sure what we'd do. Chickie is spending three days of his vacation with Tom and Jeanne is going to spend some time with him on Thursday.

Whoever is reading this Blog now knows that the help that has been offered is being called upon. Thank you so much!! We will be forever grateful.

Thank you Tom and Ann for your encouraging words.

Short Blog today. More to come tomorrow.

We continue to say it. We can't say it enough. Thank you all for all you are doing to help us get through this.
