Team Tommy

We're very grateful for all of the encouragement and prayer offered for Tommy and his newly engaged battle with cancer. The questions have evolved from "why?" to "how do we move forward to beat this?", and that's the best approach.

Again, thanks for the support --- that's why the post is entitled "Team Tommy". The following are pictures from the second round of chemo treatments ...

First, Tommy felt it important to let everyone know that his veins were among the best seen by the impressed hospital staff.


There's not much to do during the five hours it takes to pump chemicals (the purpose of which is to eradicate all fast-growing cells) into your system ...




Tommy can already pronounce the names of all the drugs involved in the process ...


This was my station, complete with laptop:



Please continue to pray that the chemotherapy is wildly successful with a minimum of side effects. The purpose of all of this is to move past it.

Its a little frustrating when there is nothing one can do to help, but I'm glad to hear that things are going well.

Hey Tommy, they always talk about my great veins, too.
