The news is not so hot today. This is the second time we’ve had to postpone treatment because there were just too many side effects going on to be prudent. Rocky has been losing strength and has also experienced shortness of breath. This has been laced with some abdominal discomfort and he hasn’t bounced back from the last Chemo/Erbitux treatment he had three weeks ago. This is accompanied with loss of appetite and the liver function appears to have something in the duct….or…..they just aren’t sure. They have scheduled another CT in the morning and we see the Doctor again on April 5th to figure out how serious and what options we have. His skin is yellow from jaundice…….so this is the total of what we heard today.

His blood work is amazing which I give credit to the herbal medications I’ve been giving him through Dr. Wieh’s program. He hasn’t given up and we can’t either. If you have extra prayer time we would appreciate your prayers for him and our friend, Ellen. You faithful readers know who Ellen is.

We’re hanging tough and will wait for the next phase to see where we are in the fight. We thank you for your moral support and love. We’ll keep you posted.

I forgot to mention my Becky’s birthday yesterday because she was in Jefferson City and we are having her birthday dinner tonight. She has a choice of her favorites……pizza, killer nachos or burritos. I’m loaded for Mexican tonight…or Italian…..or both. Hey, it’s all good, huh!! Rocky is looking forward to burritos which is his favorite thing.

Until the next time, I am,
Essentially Esther
