Time flies.......

I can't believe it's been three months since I started my first chemo treatment on May 1st. Time does fly when you are dreading the next infusion. Number 7 was about the same, but no tossing the cookies thanks to anti-nausea drugs. Vitals were good as I weighed in at 176 and hair is still growing. Two awesome blessings over the past few weeks. First, I reconnected with one of my best friends from Hawaii. It was so good to talk with him. I can't wait to visit him sometime and talk about all the fun we had growing up in Hawaii. Second, friends of my parents (and my friends too) were in town visiting family and they brought my family an entire meal. That was so thoughtful and really helped make for a wonderful night. Andrea continues to treat me like a king. Pray for her as well as I'm sure I'm not easy to take care of. She boils my drinking water and makes ice cubes for me as well as keeping me well fed.
Thanks to everyone that has wished me well, prayed for me, or just made me laugh. It all helps soooo much. Chemo #8 is a few days away. Hopefully, that will be the last. They will do another CT/PET scan around August 20th to see if the cancer has been defeated. 
On a lighter side,  as usual, I was able to do a little fishing. This picture was taken by Jeremy on beautiful night when we both went out fishing on the paddle boards. I'm so thankful to God for special moments he gives me. I enjoy the beauty of His creation!!
