Leaving on a jet plane

Well, we have certainly had a busy few months. Today is no less busy as we pack for at least a 4-month stay in Phoenix. Many of you know what's going on but many of you don't. I will update again soon, but wanted to take just a few minutes to describe my state of mind today as we are embarking on this new phase of treatment.


I feel like we are heading off for an extended vacation. We live in the cloudiest, rainiest place on the continent and now are blessed to be heading for temps around 86 degrees with sunshine and clear skies every single day. How amazing is that? How excited are we? Very!


Yes, there are some elements of the unknown, but this is our next (not last) best shot at ridding my body of this cancer. I believe that God put this clinic in my path at this time for a reason and we are going to see if that reason is because God's cure lies therein.


For now, I am feeling pretty good. I played soccer last night (which was a blast!!) full well knowing that I may have some substantial pain today and tomorrow as a result; today, I have no pain. We get on the airplane this evening and I may develop some pain, but I have long since decided that playing soccer is worth the pain to me. I only hope I can help with all the luggage and carry-ons as we make our way South.


Thanks for checking in. I hope to see you here again soon and often.
