Week 13

Sunday, April 27

Well it has been three weeks since we have returned from our "spring break", time sure goes quickly. My energy level has been the best I've had since starting chemo. The treatments are going well and we are meeting new people everyday. Like going to camp, you form new friendships and hate to see people leave, but you are happy for their progress and ability to return home, better than when they arrived. Our good new friends Max and Norma are returning to Indianna this Tuesday and we will miss them. They have been fun to be with, they are a very dear couple, Pam and I want to have thier spirit when we are approaching our 80's.

Dr. Reyes gave me a "Cancerend" shot to my liver on Wed. and Fri. and says the plan is to do this every other day for seven shots. I will then go home and take a CT scan one month later. If large tumor on my liver is 5cm (50% of it's biggest size) I'll stay home for three months and then return, if it isn't I will return then. We are cautious about making travel plans because we know how this can change, but Pam and I are hopefull and excited this will workout so we can catch Tish and grandkids program at church on May 18th. Their will also be some ball games left and Scott's move to his new place and the building of Mike and Tish's new home along with just being HOME. We are not complaining though, this has been a home away from home, with visit's from family and friend's and making many new friends.

Pam and I once again thankyou for your prayer's and support they truly are being answered everyday!

Love Pam and Virgil
