This was a slightly better week for Tim since he had a week off from chemo. Three weeks on, one week off. He starts another chemo round the day after Thanksgiving.

Paul will be starting his chemo on December 1. Like Tim, it will be three weeks of chemo, then a week off. We couldn't manage to schedule our "off-chemo" weeks for the same time. But, maybe that's better because then at least one of us isn't feeling sick and totally wiped out.

Thanks to everyone for their concern, prayers, good wishes and offers of help. Right now, we don't need any food -- but keep that thought in mind for later on.

Also, just as a friendly request to our local friends, please don't come visit us if you (or anyone in your household) has a cold, cough, flu or other infectious disease. Both of us are extremely vulnerable to infections due to our compromised immune systems. Tim has had to give himself Nupagen injections to boost his white blood cell count so that he can fight off infections. We appreciate your support, but if you're under the weather, just call, email or send your good will virtually!
