Thursday: No chemo this week.

Ole Bill got sent home from Chemoland today, to our dismay.

Everything was "a go" till they realized he was on penicillin from the unidentified fever. So they put chemo off yet another week.

This will be three weeks without any chemo.

On one hand, of course it's great that he gets to rest and recover from the infection before being slammed with more chemicals.

But at the same time, three weeks without chemo is three weeks of microscopic cancer cells being free to do whatever they please, unobstructed.

As for emotions: Bill is relieved to get a postponement, and I am glad he gets more rest and recovery time. But the anxiety rises every time he misses another week of the battle.

I'm planning to make him some home-made chicken & dumpling soup today. We both still quasi-believe in the power of chicken soup.

Thank you for reading this, and caring allllllllllll this time!

So much love to you from us both.
