chemo shmemo

Hello Everyone, today is Sunday October 31st. Chad starts his 2nd round of chemo of this second run on Monday. We found out a couple weeks ago he will be having 4 more rounds of chemo again instead of just 2. Dr. May didn't elaborate too much as to why, and we didn't ask. Dr. May did say that Chad's tumor marker numbers are looking good and that they are on track. We've decided not too ask too many questions. We feel we have two choices, trust that Dr. May knows what he is doing, or don't. And we do. So with that said, I'm sorry I am probably not answering many of the questions you all may have. I'm not withholding any information, we just haven't been into the details lately. We believe that God is in control and that gives us peace everyday. We choose to pray, focus on the positives, and enjoy each other and everyday to its fullest extent. After nearly six months of treatments, we've learned to live around cancer. We refuse to let it take over our lives and prevent us from enjoying life. I mean sure we have good days and bad days but we really do have many more good days than bad. Chad has felt great after the last round, he hasn't felt sick at all. It was hard for him to start losing his beard again after it had just come back but he's feeling better about it now. He's been tired but not too bad. We've done lots of fun things lately including participating in the Light the Night walk last weekend. We raised $375 for cancer research and it was really cool to see so many people gathered together for the cause. Last night Liz had a Halloween party that we all went to. Justice dressed up as Eminem, Chad was a gang member, and I was a witch. We had a great time! We also recently cleaned Chad's music studio up and it looks great. Since then he's been super inspired and has been making lots of beautful beats. We've talked about creating a website so he can share them with everyone that wants to hear. I'll keep you posted on that. I hope everyone has a happy & safe Halloween and thanks again for your prayers & support!
