Journal entry by Doug Reynolds —
Dick finished his third round of Chemo last week and they ran tests and determined that the Chemo wasn't reducing his cancer. They decided to stop any further rounds of Chemo and start him instead on a pill hormone treatment regiment
He began taking two different daily pills that are hormone treatments designed to attack his prostate and bone cancer. He will take them daily for the next several weeks and then they will test him again to see if the cancer is responding to this new therapy.
He is feeling a bit tired but in good spirits. He doesn't feel any pain and has been eating well. He still has the majority of his hair and he may end up not losing it all with this new treatment.
Terre has been taking good care of him! We are very grateful for her love and support!
Thank you all for your prayers, words of encouragement, love and support too! It has been well received!
