August 8th

Hello to all, I hope everyone is staying cool during this hot weather and is having a nice summer. Well today Kirk finished up his 6th chemo treatment. This is how many they had intended on giving him so hopefully this will be his last. Probably by next week they will start sceduling tests to see how things look. Bone scans, CT scans and I am going to request a Pet Study which has never been done but is very good at detecting cancer. If all goes well this will be over and he can continue to recover. He is still gaining weight two more pounds this past visit and out of the forty pounds he lost he has gained back twenty-five so he is doing very well. We go out when he feels like going somewhere like to eat or to the movies. So he is getting out and doing some things which is also good.

As soon as we start getting tests results back I will post to let everyone know what is going on. Sorry I haven't posted as often but there hasn't been a lot of news but I soon as I know anything I will be sure to let you know. As always, thanks for your thought and prayers.

God Bless!

Kirk and Laura
