One Month

Dwayne got through his first round of chemo and did pretty well. He has been tired. We have now been in our new 'normal' for a month now. We have been so blessed by people who have brought meals, sent notes, helped in very practical ways.

Lightening isn't supposed to strike twice in the same place!

This is being written from the oncology floor at our local hospital. For some of you this will be old news, others it will get you current as to why we are here. A few weeks ago, Dwayne was having some health issues that caused our family doctor to refer him to a number of other doctors. A neurologist ordered an MRI on March 26th. We found ourselves in the ICU at our local hospital two hours later.  A biopsy reveled a rare form of lymphoma.  One of my first thoughts when a neurosurgeon came in to see him was "can this be happening again?" For those of you who have known us a long time, know we dealt with cancer with our younger son, 23 years ago.  The past two weeks have been filled with numerous doctors appointments, tests and a second opinion from a neuro-oncologist at UCLA. We have been blessed with excellent care.
Today began his first round of chemotherapy.
I hope this will be a way to keep up with what is going on in our lives.
