Please remember Les in prayer today at 9:30 AM. This is his third treatment and will probably last three hours. He has one more before the CAT scan. We are praying that his side affects don't get worse.
God Bless you all,
Linda
We got home around 2:15PM. It hasn't been a good afternoon. Les is really sick at his stomach; chilling and feverish both. Maybe he will feel better by bed time.
Les made it through the night without getting too sick. However, the steroids kicked in and he didn't sleep.
He doesn't feel too bad today----he's at work.

Better days
Les has felt fairly good the last 2 days. He is eating well, but still losing weight. He has lost most of his hair and beard.
He is ready for round 3 on Monday!
Thanks for your prayers!

Good & bad days!
Les had a bad night Tuesday. He was sick all night and didn't sleep. Not surprisingly, he still made it to work Wednesday morning. He was slightly sick most of the day Wednesday and Wednesday evening. He did sleep very well Wednesday night and is feeling better today.
He has to go to Olathe to have the pump removed today. No 3 treatment is scheduled for June 30th, with only one more after that before the scan.

Treatment #2
Today at 1:00 PM Les has his 2nd chemo treatment. He is still having some stomach problems and is beard is getting very thin.
He is hoping that this treatment will only last 2 hours and not 4 like the first one.
He continues to work and keep up the positive attitude. The Lord is with him.
All of your prayers are so important to us.
God Bless you all!

Well, the chemo lasted 3 hours today, so we didn't get home until after 5:00 PM. Les is feeling a little sick, but is still going. Dr. Lee said he probably wouldn't be able to go to work tomorrow, but Les told him he would be there.
I just pray he will have a tolerable night's sleep.

Feeling better
Today, Les says he feels about 75% better. He still has the sores in his mouth and a slight stomach problem, but all-in-all he has been better today.
He has four days to enjoy and then another treatment on Tuesday. It won't be as long (shorter than four hours) and hopefully he won't feel as bad.
Thanks to everyone for your support and especially all of the prayers. We feel God working every day, every hour, every minute and every second of the day.

Starting the new week!
Les is still having some stomach trouble. His mouth has quite a lot of sores, but he has medication that help somewhat.
He was able to go to church on Sunday. He wasn't sure if he could, but he made it the whole day.
He continues to work and have semi-normal days. The fatigue and heaviness in his legs seems to be increasing, but he manages to keep on going.
We appreciate the prayers and comments. It is nice for him to know that he has friends and family that care.
God bless you all!

Rough days
The last 2 days have been pretty tough for Les. Fatigue has set in and his legs are heavy again. The metalic taste is back in his mouth and the mouth sores have started showing up.
All-in-all he is handling it like always. Last night he watched Jer and I mow the lawn and I know that was hard on him.
He will start to feel better now and have 1 week of "almost normal" and then begin the 2nd treatment.
The Lord has been right by his side holding him up.

Over the worst!
Les is feeling better today. The last 2 days he has been a little sick, but he's not missing work.
Last night(Tuesday) around 11:30 PM he got the hiccups---a common side affect. They were gone this morning and he seems to be feeling better.
Today he goes back to Dr. Lee to have the pump removed.
1 down and 3 to go!!!
Thank you for your prayers!

Survived #1
Les made it through the first chemo treatment today. He got really sick in the middle of it, but the nurses gave him a shot that helped him immediately. He didn't finish until 3:00 PM, so the day was a long one.
He will have the treatment for 8 weeks, every other week and then a scan at the end to see if the tumors are responding.
He is pretty weak and not feeling great right now, but he's not down.
Thank you for all of your prayers and comments.

Les will start his chemo treatment today around 10:00 AM and it will last until approximately 2:00 PM. Please remember him in prayer today. He has a positive attitude and is ready to fight another round.
Thank you so much for all of your support during this time.
