After seven weeks of NO chemo, Barb's indicators were still good - even in the normal range. We don't presume to have the cancer defeated, but we have held it at bay just a bit. The best news is that we get to go another six weeks without chemo. Then another check up and another evaluation.
Barb has been pushing herself some this summer to try and build up a little more strength. We've taken a 5 hour trip to visit her mother, a two-day eight hour trip to central Kansas for a wedding and a 4 and a half hour each way - two day trip to South Dakota and back.
She says she's tired, but then, so am I.
We are planning to fly out to Vegas for a short vacation with her sisters and their husbands and then trying to figure out how we want to travel to Tennesee to see Sara and Jason. Of course, I'll be starting my community college classes soon, so some of our traveling will be limited.
In between all of the traveling we hope to see the grandkids as often as possible. The doctor still doesn't want Barb to lift much, but he figured she can at least still handle the granddaughters. Ian would be another thing altogether.
As far as the cancer itself, we will continue to monitor, continue to do what the doctors and nurses suggest, and continue to pray.
