2nd Cycle

Hey everyone, just an update for you regarding the 2nd cycle. Tyler responded really well this time. They gave him extra fluids to help with the nausea and it seemed to work. Tyler felt good yesterday with the first dose of chemo and a little sicker today. Much better cycle than the first go around. We did seem to get out of the hospital a little quicker each day.

Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts, Tyler is doing well because of them. He had a pet scan on Tuesday and we got the results today. The doctors let us know that the chemo is working for him, the pet scan didn't show any masses of cancer. This doesn't mean it is all gone, but it does mean that it is working and that the treatment will be short. We are grateful for that.

If Tyler will let me I will have to put a new picture up. We went hat shopping this week and Ty is feeling better about his beautiful baldness. Everyone that sees him is telling him he plays the look well. Thanks everyone.

We will go in Wednesday to finish this cycle. It is a cake walk compared to today.

My brother in law had the same type of cancer. He was at church with us on Sunday and saw you passing the sacrament. He says to hang in there and you'll get through it okay. You look great with or without hair!
