Well I went to MSTI yesterday to receive my chemo treatment. All my blood work came back alittle low but not enough to stop me from getting the treatment. I discussed with the doctor just how tried I have been lately and we decided I should take a couple of weeks off from treatment. So for the next two weeks we will be going to the cabin in Cascade to rest and relax.I will be trying to build myself back up.
Next treatment is scheduled for June 8th
I hope everything is going good with all of you. Please continue to pray for Linda and I as we still have a long journey ahead of us. I try to look at each day as a new day from God. He holds me up with His steadfast Love. He is my strong tower (Proverbs 18:10). If it wasn't for my relationship with Jesus Christ I don't know how I could have handled the cancer in my life. Jesus Christ is every thing to me. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:20)

May 11, 2010 Update
Doug and I are sitting in the chemo suite as he is in the process of getting his treatment. His blood counts were a little low, but the differentials were good, so he was still able to get the treatment. Doug was wavering a little bit about whether to push this treatment out until next week, but decided to go ahead with it since we were already here at MSTI. These treatments are very hard on him mentally, as well as, physically.
Since his counts were low he is scheduled to have a Nuelasta shot on Thursday when the chemo infusion ball is removed. This is to help build up his white blood cell count and as his nurse Barbara states, "to keep them in the Pac Man mode to eat away at the cancer and build up his immune system".
Doug has been reviewing/re-memorizing scripture verses we learned years ago during a Navigators Bible study class. He has been reminded of the importance of memorizing scripture as they guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus and give us His peace, not the world's peace.
Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Thank you once again for all of your prayers for Doug as he continues this long often tiring battle he continues to fight. We know they make a difference as you stand in the gap for and with him before our gracious God on his behalf.
Blessings to each of you,
Linda
