It's a Maybe-Chemo day...

It's Thursday, and a big one for us!

If he passes his blood test, today will be the LAST CHEMO in his 6 cycles--a truly amazing achievement. Two different oncologists have told us that "almost no one" can make it through all 6 cycles!

Yesterday, Bill's general practice doctor told him that he'd never even known of a person to go through so much chemo and not lose weight, and Bill didn't lose any.

Neither did I. Can I please blame chemo for that? I have a few to get rid of these days...

The doctor also had difficulty believing that Bill made it through teaching the whole spring semester with THAT kind of chemo.

Say what we will about our cowboy, he has the constitution of a battleship!

So I will write again tonight and let you know if he gets the chemo or gets sent home to build up strength till next week.

Tons of love from Beth and Battleship Billy
