Not too hateful

John is managing very nicely. Pretty fatigued and occasionally nauseous but doing well. I did some tree trimming and burned some of the many dead limbs that fall from our trees yesterday afternoon in our "recreational" fire pit and John came out and sat in a lawn chair to supervise for a bit. It was great to have him outside with me!

It has helped him tremendously to adhere to his normal routine with dietary regimen and we attribute his having an easier time this go round to our decision to "maintain the norm." Without giving too many details, after John's original colon cancer and bowel resection, he takes three immodium per day and uses metamucil fiber twice per day. The Dr. advised to double his immodium and cut the fiber out to combat the affects of the chemo. However, this was a big mistake as John's body did not react to the chemo in the way expected. Needless to say, sticking to the routine has helped tremendously.

Some days are harder than others but we thank God daily for his mercy and compassion.

Love, Pam
