Not Discouraged... anymore
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. This blog has been a tremendous source of strength for us.
On Friday I had my heavy dose of Cytoxan, as well as my 6th session of Radiation, and I'm still on the lower doses of chemo. I'm sure I glow in the dark.
So, the bottom line is the tumors have started to decrease, slowly. Still hideous, but not quite so much. And my hair continues to grow, it looks rather fuzzy.
So cautiously optimistic is my outlook for this week.
Thanks again for all the support.

Love your outlook.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Blaine. You are still as handsome as ever, tumor or not. Beauty comes from within, anyway, you know. Your soul is very beautiful.

I love your quote here Blaine... Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.

This I pray for you.
Love and hugs,

Glad to hear that things are looking up. Keep the positive attitude and keep fighting!
ReplyDeleteBeth was quite crushed when she read that the cancer had returned. You're in both of our thoughts. [I'm sure you're in her prayers. You'd be in mine too, but I don't go in for that sort of thing.]
You better not get discouraged!! Someone, somehow we have to keep a strong outlook. Nancy and I were in NY City eating dinner 3 blocks away when they tried to set off the bomb in Times square on Saturday. They failed and we are still here!! The moral is near misses don't count. Trust that life will prevail. God is looking out for us.

Blain and Marlee, you have always been my favorite kind of people! We love you are are with you always. I was reaing ove the last few blogs you left, and Ihave to tell you, any man with or with out cancer who can joke in the light of his own plight, about breast cancer slogans (which I might add I laughed so hard,I was crying!!), is still my kind of people. Here is a new one that you might not have heard is: you can tell who was sick or either vain by diging up thier graves and looking inside because silacone will alwasys out last all of us. Well take care of yourself, the Lord be with you today and always. The Halls
