The kids are sleeping and Mark is golfing. Yah, unbelievable! We are both so thrilled with Mark's energy and reaction to the second round of chemo we just can't believe it. We got word last night that Mark will do another bone marrow biopsy on Monday morning. Following that, the 3rd and (hopefully) final round of chemotherapy will start. After the 3rd round they will repeat the bone marrow biopsy again and maybe we can be done with it all.
We are eagre to assume that Mark is in remmission because he feels pretty good. Tired at times but overall he's doing amazing. But it's hard to get your hopes up when a test can smash them back down again. Highs are high, but the lows are terribly low - so for now we'll just think about the weekend. What should we barbeque? It's supposed to be nice.
We are really loving having Mark home with us. It's almost like a vacation except for the whole fighting Cancer thing. Mark is still travelling into town every second day for bloodwork and tests now that he is recovered from his infection last weekend. Up until Sunday, he was at the outpatient clinic every day for a few hours recieving IV antibiotics. A little taxing on him I think, lots of waiting around but all is well now.
Keep your fingers crossed and we'll post as soon as we know Mark's results.
