Very tired these days!!

With family support we were able to accomplish getting the house repainted. There is finishing touches to still do but we got most of it done.

We were blessed to be able to take a trip to the East Coast, New Hampshire, and Maine, September 21-30th. It was a much-needed trip to be able to relax and embrace family time and make some new memories. My favorited was watching Chaz eat all the lobster he could handle!

So far, the tumor is responding well to treatment, not sure how well Chaz is responding to this inconvenience after trying one more round of immunotherapy at the end of July. In the Middle of August Chaz was told that he would have to go back on steroids and not be able to have immunotherapy due to it causing the Pneumonitis to return full force and Neuropathy developing in his hands and feet. There have been MRI & CT scans done right before vacation and the results showed that the tumor on the spine is stable.

Waiting on another new doctor, an interventional radiologist. This doctor is referred to us by the palliative care doctor for Chaz’s pain in his Back/shoulder where the tumor is. The plan is a day procedure that will hopefully provide some relief. Burning the tumor and cementing the vertebrae.

Round four of Chemotherapy is this Thursday.

We greatly appreciate all the love and support that is giving to us!

Overall, we live a very Blessed, loving, and Thankful life!
