Chemo was yesterday....and after talking with the Doctor before the treatment...Michael agreed to TALK to the specialist...NO TEST...NO PROBING...ONLY TALKING....At this point she needs direction from a Doctor who specializes in this rare cancer that he has...to see if there is any other line of therapy that he could do besides the bone marrow transplant....As he is not really responding to the chemo to this point....They had hoped he would stay "resting"... but he is not...They suspect at this point that the tumors may not be a result of the lymphoma...(not sure how they came to this unless it had something to do with the blood work that was done..I do see that his bad protein level is HIGHER )...but he will be going to have everything biopsied....But as we know that ONLY happens when the VA gives the approval for it to happen....Could be next week...could be next month...Michael says he is in no hurry to do or know anything...
Michael is still in good spirits...and only wishes to ENJOY his life to the HIGHEST quality for as LONG as he has....AMEN!
So we have time with the little love today...I am taking him for a couple hours to visit friends so that Michael can get a nap in....but we are laughing this morning...the sun is shinning....and life is good....
Be Well...
rambles from the shadow side of life...About living...about living with dying....This is where my heart will pour forth...this is where my shadow will be exposed...this is where I will cry...where I will laugh...where I will become one with that shadow of life...

SIng Halleluia!
Patti, you are in my thoughts so very often. This journey has been such a roller coaster for both of you, and I only know the parts you speak of here.
Are you familiar with Patti Digh's book, Life is a Verb? She is a woman of wisdom, and I think you and Michael would appreciate this book especially.
My heart is with you.
