Still hanging in there. Only 3 more days of radiation to go. Since my insurance isn't covering, I got a look at the bill. $78,000 and counting for 6 weeks of radiation alone!
$5,000 in chemo. But I'm starting full chemo after a 2 week rest period. Even my radiation doctor was surprised. She said she figured maybe $30,000 at the most.

Oh well, I figure I can do something like sell Biz's body and I should be all right!

I have down days when I feel terrified my life is going to be cut short. But I'm having more days when I'm convinced I'm going to beat this. I have too many seasons of growing left, among other things, not to fight every step of the way.

Thanks everyone. It's hard to give-up knowing so many are praying for me.

Thanks everyone! Gary, that's something about your son. That's easily the hardest part of this whole ordeal. It's bad enough to have cancer and see others who do at the infusion center. But when I see the children on the other side getting chemo, that's when it gets too much for me.

However, 8 years is very inspiring to me and he's in my prayers too.
