4."The calm before the storm"

The past few weeks have been busy with Dr's. appointments. and Easter but he seems to feel a little better everyday. We met with his chemo Dr. and he recommends that we go with the strongest form so that it doesn't come back. He would be on a 21 day course (1 week on 2 weeks off) with 2 medications. He would begin treatment at a minimum of 4 weeks after surgery and max 6 weeks. So we decided to start it after Easter on the 21st. We also met with the radiation Dr. He said that he doesn't recommend radiation for lung cancer because it is not proven to work or make any difference. So we were relieved to hear that he at least wouldn't have to go through that.
Easter was nice, it gave us a break from reality for a day. The Easter bunny hid lots of eggs for our Kayla. My teens enjoyed it too because he hid some just for them, in places Kayla couldn't see or reach. Then we went and spent the rest of the day with his family. It was nice we all ate good and I didn't have to cook!
The next week there were a few more appointments, but all seems to be going well. He almost feels like his old self again. He would love to go back to work but that's out of the question for a while. The Dr. feels that he should get through all of his treatments first.
So until next week when the storm begins all is well that ends well! Thank you again for reading my blog! God bless!
