Tonight, End of Week 3

These past 3 weeks were filled with pain, fatigue, intermittent sleep, stress, irritability, anxiety, long days…..short nights, busyness, constant hunger; with both of us feeling some of these at different times. Although Steve has had a supply of energy (brought on by the steroids) that is not natural nor helpful for someone in his condition.

Now for the blessings, the gratefulness we both feel at the opportunity to have access to a treatment that  has proven effective for many with relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma cannot be said too many times. Our hope has always been that with all the advances made in treating Myeloma, there will always be another treatment ready for him if the current one fails.

Steve says he wants to live long enough to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Which is in 2026! Gosh that is a long way away! He says these are the best years of his life! Wow, with all things considered I guess he finds living with me to be a good thing! LOL.

The amount of friends praying for us is sooooo encouraging! The strength we fell spiritually and emotionally is God given and relished. Our love for one another has grown, we are extremely grateful for each new day and trust in our Lord for his guidance and protection.

I hope Steve's week off proves to be a restful one!

So continue on we must! Next Friday we go to UCLA for labs and the next bottle of Pomalidomide.

And thank you to our new found friend and companion……..without you, sweet sleep would be very uncommon in our home!

Please pray for Julie, Natalie, Rosemary, Michael, Rosemarie, Debbie, Maricella, Jim, Skip, and Marcie.
