It is Memorial Day Weekend. Sarah came down with her new puppy to visit. It was nice to have her here. Her new puppy is energetic, but cute.

I am doing about the same. I am still a bit tired and nauseated at times. I think it will be like this until the treatment is over. Thanks for all your prayers and concern. With God and my friends and family I will make it.

Well, I have started by second week of chemo. I am having more problems with nausea and some intestinal issues. I' m trying to stick to a diet that is easy on my system. Thanks for all you prayers and for walking this journey with me. I know there are many prayer warriors out there.

Keep praying

Things seem to be going along well. I saw the doctor yesterday and he said that everything seems to be going as they expected. So far the chemo hasn't been too bad. I am a bit more tired during the day and I do get some nausea. However, God is good. I have been able to sleep better at night now that I have recovered from all the surgeries. I love you all and I am so blessed to have family and friends caring for and praying for me and my family.

Hanging on

Well I am finally feeling better from my last surgery when they placed a new portacath in. I'm continuing with my radiation and my chemopump seems to be working just fine. I'm feeling pretty good, but I get tired. Thanks for all your prayers. Please continue to pray for the doctor's wisdom and for the treatment to work and that the cancer will be all gone. I love you all and I will try to keep this site updated every few days.

Hello to all my friends and family:
It has been an interesting ride. I was diagnosed with Colorectal cancer on April 21, 2010. I have finally started my radiation and chemo. We had some trouble with my portacath. It was all bent and twisted and when they set up the chemo pump, the chemo medicine backed up and came right back out. They had to install another portacath last Thursday. It is working fine. I have my chemo pump hooked up to it and it doesn't leak. Praise God!!! Right now I have 2 portacaths. They will remove one eventually.
So far I have felt O.K. with the treatments. I am a bit nauseated and tired. It' s hard to sleep with a chemo pump on me at all times. They said that I may start to feel more tired and sick as the chemo medicine builds up in my system. Please pray that I will not get too sick.
Thanks for all your prayers, cards, flowers, gifts, phone calls, food and love. It has been a great encouragement to me and my family. I know it will be a difficult next few months, but with all of you and God on my side, I will make it.

Love you all!!!!
