Chemo - 2 of 3

I'm currently doing quite well. I have completed my second of three full weeks of chemotherapy. I have a Monday and Monday of bleomycin, then another full week, and two more Mondays. I have been quite healthy. My hair is MUCH thinner (everywhere), but I haven't lost it all yet. Time will tell.

Allison and the kids are so supportive and kind. Allison has been to every single one of my chemo rounds; they take 4-6 hours each day. I'm so lucky in that so many people have someone drop them off, and then come back. Some of the poor folks are so forlorn and worn and tired. I keep reminding myself how blessed I am to have such a curable illness and a set date. What a blessing!

I'm blessed in that I'm able to do lots of work from home. I've been able to get in most of my hours and actually get seemingly more done than if I was there being interrrupted by everything.

We're looking forward to a nice week of Thanksgiving. Winston is flying home this Wednesday until Sunday. We'll disinfect him and he'll be able to join us for a few days, before heading back to the grind. He's so excited to be here for a few days and we're excited to see him after a few months away. I'm hoping and praying that my strength will hold up as it has so that he'll not see me miserable or too tired or worn. I think it will do us all good just to be together!

Winston will be escorting Spencer thru the temple this coming Saturday as he recieves his endowments. I'm sorry that I am not able to attend; can't be around people, but I'm so glad that Winston and Spencer will have that memory together to share.

I hope that you are all doing well. I understand how hard it is for many of you with your many life trials. Bless your hearts and your families for your efforts and desire to serve each other so faithfully throughout. I have truly learned empathy in this little trial I have. I say little trial because that's what I truly feel that it is. I have a set timeframe and the true faith that this is just a little blip on the whole road. We will truly overcome with the Lord's help and be on our merry way and have this all behind us very soon.

May the Lord continue to bless and keep you and yours. Thanks!
