Normal is just a setting on the dryer!

Well, the year has gotten of to a quick start. Life is just not slowing down.

Dwayne began his 6th round of chemo yesterday and will continue it for this week. He's tried. but doing well otherwise. The first week of February he will have his next MRI. Praying that this will remain the same as the one in November-no cancer!! He was released from physical therapy last week. Possibly speech the end of the month.

I had thought we were in our new "normal" of a routine. I don't think the Roberts do "normal". Jared's dermatologist at UCLA thought he might qualify for a drug trial for the basal cell nevis syndrome he has. Yes, another very rare condition-less than 1,000 documented cases. So, we have had two trips up there for pre-trial testing. Hopefully, only one more this week, maybe two. They are trying to get everything fit in before he goes back to school on Saturday, for his last semester! We thought we knew where we were going the first visit. Found out there are two different departments of oncology at UCLA-the neuro-oncologists in one building that Dwayne sees, and an entirely different building where a whole floor of offices are devoted to cancers that are not in the brain. Sometimes I am a bit overwhelmed at that place, but grateful we have such good people caring for them.

We have decided that Roberts in the original Saxon must have meant "unusual medical conditions"
Thank you again for your prayers and support. There is still more to this journey.
