Sunday morning
It's Sunday morning here in North Carolina. We didn't go to church this morning. Steve fininshed his 24th cycle of Sutent last night. I lot of bugs around this time of year so we stayed in today. He will be scaned in a week or so. He has been scaned so much in the last eleven years it's unreal. For the first three years or so it was twice a year. When it came back it has been every 3 months. I once asked the doctor about so much of radiation or whatever they use for scans would hurt him and he responded that it was a necessity. With the Sutent I guess they want to know if it is helping. It has kept the cancer from spreading, and has kept the tumors he has from growing larger. I know he is so blessed to be able to tolerate this drug. I have heard some sad stories about Sutent. I stand amazed myself at his attitude about life. He is strong and rarely do I see him really down. He is so grateful to still be here. I think sometimes he may hide his feelings from me because I am not so healthly myself. I must say that he is emotional. But who isn't facing this everyday? I hope everyone is having a good day and I will post again soon.
