Journal entry by Craig Phinney —
Monday July 20 update. Round #2 of Chemo this morning. Labs were good, Dr consultation went well. Keeping chemo cocktail the same until August, then will have labs and consultation again on changing strength. At least two more rounds of chemo first and middle part of August, then scans for evaluation of progress.
Drs very happy on progress currently and how I’m looking physically, medically and mentally. Politely replied, it’s not all me. Dr also wanted me to share with my others Drs how I’m progressing. Prayers are being answered, I’m proof of that, Warriors are out in force to the call for service, I’m proof of that, Medically responding with positive results and like all three Drs have said jointly by identifying me and my cancer as “Unique.”
We are going to keep doing what we are doing and working closely with our Warriors (Prayer Team Craig’s Army 2.0). Thank you all for your support, encouragement and thoughtfulness. Shirley and I are extremely appreciative and blessed as to who’s fighting with us. We can not do this alone. We have had days when both of us are extremely exhausted and wiped, and then a few of our Warriors know just what to do and say to energize us back to focusing on the fight. THANK YOU 🙏🙏🥰🥰.
I am on chemo pump until this Wednesday and we’ll return to Stoddard and have pump removed and will get fluids on board for the weekend and then off until the first part of August for Round #3. We will continue with updates.
