Kevin continues his final phase of the chemotherapy treatment. He has 6 months of treatments, which mostly consist of daily oral chemo. He doesn't feel sick, only fatigue, fatigue, fatigue. He feels it down to his bones, along with aches and pains. His broken ankle is slowly healing, probably due to the chemo, and he still walks slowly and with a limp.
BUT...he is worlds away from where he was last year! Slowly, incrementally it seems the dark curtain of his illness is lifting. It's easier to forget about the cancer these days - what a welcome relief from last year's daily barrage of illness and treatments.
So it's on to Christmas for us, starting last weekend with the opening of our tree farm. Yet again, our family and friends have rallied to run the farm in Kevin's absence, giving up their December weekends to sell our trees and wreaths. (If you feel the need to read more about us, [who doesn't??] you can check out our website at www.lazysusantreefarm.com. You'll find a wonderful article from our local paper about the tree farm & all our support.) Who knew we were so blessed and who would have thought leukemia would have brought all these blessings?? Like I said, these are the days!
