Once again

   We got the not so good news almost two weeks ago. The cancer markers are up and no matter how good Barb is feeling, the doctor recommends going back on Chemo treatment. So this week we will add Chemo and another drug to the two we are already taking. The treatment will take around five hours on Thursday.

   Although we have known for over a week, we have continued to make plans for a couple of trips this summer - one with Sara and Jason in May and one with Eric, Alexa and kids in July. We know that plans can change. We have no real idea how Barb will feel once the treatments begin. We can onlly remember some of the results from last year.

   Barb knows that she will probably lose her hair again. She will have to fight nausea and other side effects from the chemo and other drugs. I worry about how tired she will feel and how we'll go about fighting the lethargy this time.

   We had hoped that the first treatments would last longer. Many years longer. But it wasn't to be. Now we hope that this series of treatments will fight the disease even better than the first. We have a lot of things we want to do - a lot of places we want to see - a lot of life we want to live.
