Mom's last treatment

Lots more news lately! As Dad has continued to prepare himself for another round of therapy, as just mentioned, Mom has her last Herceptin treatment this week. She will continue to go in periodically to get her port maintained for the next year before they feel like they can take it out. I think I have been misinforming people that she was done- because I didn't even realize! So, she is getting her last hormone treatment and will also continue to take a pill.

Also- if in your mind you could share and redouble some prayers to another family fighting this fight in much need of the extra prayer time! It's been a year now since Mom's rediagnosis, and just over two since Dad's. We've been blessed with some effective treatments, and feel lucky to spread the love to other's in our community who need the support as well.

Jim finishes the 5k Prostrate Cancer Run

On Saturday, Jim ran the Cincinnati 5K Prostate Cancer run in about 25 minutes. He continues to run 4 miles or so 3-5 times a week building up his bones and heart for the hormone therapy being used to treat his prostate cancer. He has a checkup this week to see if it's time for another hormone shot or if they think he can wait another 3-4 months.
