Rough week- better now

Ruth had a rough week. She and Bob came back from Boulder on Monday. Bob had a great race and they had a good weekend. She had a chemo treatment on Tuesday along with an iron transfusion. She started not feeling well on Tuesday, stayed home from work on Wednesday and Thursday and will go back to school today- Friday. She went in to get some IV fluids on Thursday along with some medicine to help her not feel as nausious. Other than that you can't really tell that she was not feeling bad earlier this week. She has another treatment on Tuesday. Her blood results are fluctuating which is normal, one week it looks good and another week it brings back results that are not great but not terrible either. After her next treatment- next week- they will wait 2-3 weeks before she has a PET scan and we will go from there.

Thanks for all your prayers- will try to update this often.

Update on Ruth

Ruth had chemo on Tuesday this week and is doing ok, she is really tired and not feeling great but still went to school on Wednesday, much to our relief decided to take off today- Thursday. Hopefully with some rest she will be ready for the holiday weekend. She is hoping the reason why she is tired and in pain means that the chemo is effectively working and her body is fighting this disease. Her iron levels are a little low so she will need to get iron treatments for a bit through an IV between her chemo treatments. Her blood results came back looking good for the most part. Much to her disappointment she will not be participating in this years Bolder Boulder 10K run this year, however Bob still will and she plans on cheering him on. So if any female 62 years of age that is reading this you should enter the race this year as it will be your only chance to win the age group- good luck, she will be back for revenge next year!

Happy Memorial Day weekend- stay safe out there-to all the Men and Women in our Military that are serving, have served or will serve thank you for your service from the bottom of our hearts.

As always thanks for your prayers!

Doing Well!

Hi to all. Ruth is doing well. This was her off week from chemo. She will have another 3 weeks of treatments once a week then we will go in for a PET scan and determine what is next. She has been eating well and getting some deep sleep at night so that is great. Thanks for all your prayers!
