Chemo #2

Good morning!

Three weeks later, and here we are again in chemo. Last treatment we ended up spending all day in the infusion area. This is typical for the first chemo treatment. Everything went really well and there was no side effects initially. About 4 days after, Libby started get nauseous, but other than that she was fine.

Two weeks ago we visited a relay for life at TCU. It is amazing to see how much support there is for people with cancer. The kids, especially EW, had a good time there as well. After the relay event, we tried out a new local pizzeria.

Last Saturday Libby's hair was noticeably falling out, so we went ahead and shaved it. I had the honor of doing it, which was one of the hardest things to do knowing how much her hair means to her. Below you will see a photo of the night we did it.

We are overwhelmed with how much support from family and friends we have received thus far. To those who have, we can't thank you enough. We are very appreciative. Today we found out that Libby is stage 2A. Which means that the Lymphoma is only in the lower part of her torso. Also, the oncologist told us today that the turmor has shrunk to about half the orginal size based on what he could feel! Praise God for that! Chemo is working and by the end of Septemeber she will be done with chemo.






Bag made for us at the relay for life... They put a candle in each one that night.
