No more chemo!

Gunter took his last ABVD treatment today! Here he is posing in his celebratory "I'm a chemo grad" shirt. He's not feeling great tonight, but knowing that this is the last one will make recovery a whole lot easier. He'll go back tomorrow for his Neulasta shot and on March 6 for a PET scan. We'll find out the results March 10.

The last few days were probably the best Gunter has had for quite a while. Wednesday through Sunday, he was just about back to his old self again, and we sure did enjoy it! After a few weeks that were a little on the rough side, this past week was an uplifting gift from God, a glimmer of hope for lots more feel-good days.

I can't believe we made it through all 12...There were times (even recently) when I had my doubts. Thank you, Lord! And thank you to all our friends and family so willing to help out, encourage and pray for us! Keep praying for good results March 10.
