We have reached the milestone of the half-way-point in Shawn's chemo treatments! YEAY!
Today went well. The chemo went very quickly and we got finished much earlier than we expected so we got home around 5pm. Shawn' s feeling "like a glow stick" and tired but all is well. Tomorrow is the tricky part. We plan to head off the nausea first thing and start the preventative meds early in the morning. Hopefully that will help. It's going to be a rough couple of days dealing with the after affects of chemo and then the 2nd lumbar puncture treatment on Friday.
After Friday we are good until January. The next step is a CT and PET scan on Dec 31st to determine if the cancer is still there or not. Pray for the NOT please!!! If it's not there, he will continue chemo as planned and finish out the next 9 weeks of treatment. If it is there, they will intensify the chemo treatment which will be harsher and more frequent. Meaning it will be harder on Shawn too. So obviously we are praying that it's gone for all the reasons!!!!!!
We just want to take a minute to thank all of our friends and family for supporting us through this time and let you know how much you mean to us!
We are hoping everyone has a healthy and happy Christmas and Blessed New Year!
Love,
Jess and Shawn

Glad to day went well. I stopped in the office today with Elise and I was thinking about you guys knowing Shawn wasn't in the office today. I'll be praying! The updates are great. God bless you both.
