Hello to all, it's been a few days since I last posted and during that time Kirk has finished up his second chemo treatment. He hasn't been nauseous but so very tired. Even though they have him going everyday for shots to help boost his white blood cells and blood platelets he still has to get IV fluids periodically. His blood pressure is running low and this helps to boost it by giving his blood a boost. Today we had to go for xrays and a shot and IV fluids so we were there all day and he was absolutely worn out. He doesn't have to have chemo again until May 14th so hopefully he will have some good days before that. He has an appointment with Dr. Swan on Thursday so hopefully we will have some new news to share.
This weekend is prom weekend at Rural Retreat and we are helping Micki Jo and Casey do a dinner for some of the couples. We were going to do it at our house but we thought it might be to much and Micki Jo and Casey were nice enough to offer doing the dinner at their house so we are just going to go to their house and help them. I hope Kirk feels a little better by this weekend so he can enjoy it. Things are still looking good he has just gotten tired from the chemo and I think that is just part of it.
Well I will post again as soon as we have some more news. God Bless to everyone!

I have been diagnosed with cancer. The cancer is of unknown primary which means they do not know where it originated. I have several tumors on the bone. I have be working with the Cleveland Cancer Center and an oncologist in Abingdon. This site is for my friends and family to see how I am doing each day. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate everyone's prayers and concern. Thank you.
