Dear Family and Friends,
Sorry for the delay in our postings. This past week was chemo week for Deborah. She began chemotherapy on Friday, June 24th and today, just a few moments ago, her IV was pulled, for her first session of chemo is now completed. Deborah had a tough week of it, with severe nausea the first several days. The past two days, however, have been great. Deborah can now roam the hallways of the hospital floor, have a shower, and take care of all the business she usually does!
For those of you interested, she was taking daunorubicin and cytarabine. Check out Wikipedia to learn what these drugs too. She is also participating in a clinical study of plerixafor.
Thanks to all of you who have helped us out so far. Joan and Nigel brought over two absolutely delicious dinners this week. The boys loved them! Kari and May helped with groceries, and some of our neighbors brought over delicious fruit baskets and baked goods. Your willingness to help us makes me so proud to live in our community and have friends like you all.
I kinda hope that now Deborah is up on her feet she will continue her regular postings. Mine, to be honest, are rather boring. ---Stephen
