Whose up for Round 2

We arrived at McKayDee Hospital on Monday, September 29th at around 11:00 am. It was a very busy day and we waited in the waiting room for at least 45 minutes. Troy had another blood draw and we were so very pleased to learn that all of his counts were within the normal ranges! Praise be to God once again! We waited another 20 minutes for the Nurse Practitioner to come in to check Troy over again. She was very impressed with the size reduction in his lump since the first treatment. I mean, we are talking about a lump that was originally the size of a tennis ball at least, and was now reduced to a lump that was a bit smaller than a golf ball! Amazing what only one treatment has done! All Glory to God! Jesus does heal in every aspect!!!

Once we met with the nurse practitioner, we were then walked back to the infusion room. We waited yet again and Troy was finally "plugged in" at around 1:15 pm. They stepped up the speed of the infusion this time and it seemed to go fairly well and definietely a bit faster however, Troy noticed a bit of a difference with how he felt after he got home. We think that receiving the meds a bit slower is a much better way to go so we're going to have them do that the for round three which will be on October 20th. As of today, Troy is feeling somewhat nauseated and has some tightness and pain throughout areas of his body but he is tremendously tough I must say! Thank you to everyone who prays for us and helps us!!! More updates to come! God Bless!
