Duben is doing well. He’s now finished 2 of the 6 chemo cycles. Luckily, Duben manages to sleep through most of his treatments, so that's always nice for him. Each one seems to hit him a little harder each time, mostly with fatigue and a bit of nausea. The hard part is the anticipation of when it will hit. We know he'll get sick, it's just when. I'm so proud of him and how well he's been doing. He’s able to work full time and still manages to keep up with Ainsley. He still gets tired and has to take it easy, but I’m so impressed with all he still does. I’m so grateful for his strength and positive attitude.
Duben will be heading to Houston in a few weeks to get an update on his progress. The doctors will re-run most of his tests to determine whether or not the treatment is working and how he is reacting. He’ll also be meeting with a Radiation Oncologist to see how long radiation will be, and whether or not that treatment should be done in Houston. Since the limp nodes are so large and close to his heart, his doctor was worried about the risk factors of radiation, and might recommend he gets it done there. We hope that's not the case, but we will do whatever needs to be done.
We are optimistic that everything is going well. Duben has said he is feeling good and notices a little less pressure in his chest. This gives us hope that everything is working.
Mom and baby are also doing well. Lil' D is growing quickly and is quite the kicker. We're getting excited to meet him. Ainsley just loves talking to him, and reminding Mom to be quiet because he's sleeping. She will be such a good big sister.
As always - thank you to everyone who continues to give us support. We are so grateful for all the service and prayers. We feel so blessed and comforted.
