In August 2011, Duben was diagnosed with a unique type of cancer called Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He fought hard and was winning. He did it all while providing for his family, and being the most amazing husband and father. After finishing chemotherapy he got pneumonia, which took over his weakened body and caused severe damage to his lungs. On April 8 we said goodbye to the most amazing man I know. I've kept this blog to let everyone know we are doing well. Our children our amazing, and we are grateful for every day we have together.

one week down

just a quick recap for the week.

our first week at MD anderson is finally over! poor duben has taken a beating this week, but everything has gone extremely well. he went in to do the bone marrow test this morning. Luckily it was a quick procedure and he seems to be doing quite well.

we wont meet with our doctor until monday afternoon to go over the results, so it will be a long weekend. luckily we get to go home to go see ainsley! the hardest part of this has been being away from our little girl.

thank you again to all of you for your support. it means so much to us to have received so many wonderful emails this week. we are so grateful for such amazing friends and family!

    I'm so glad you're doing the blog, we love being up to date on how things are going. My mom had liver cancer, so I know how difficult this whole process can be (although I'm sure even more difficult it being your husband). You're family is in our thoughts and prayers continuously. Please give us a call if you need anything!
