So so late. So so sorry.

To our faithful friends and prayer warriors,

I am sorry we never ended up posting an update after Tims last treatment. The month has passed by so quickly!

Round 4:

Last month we found out that Tims CT scan showed definite improvement and the spots were shrinking as expected. They said at that time that he would likely have one or two more rounds to shrink the spots on his spleen further as that takes longer to react to the treatments. It did take him longer to bounce back after this treatment. He just feels pretty off and has 'chemo brain' well into the following week. But usually a week later he is back to himself.

Round 5:

We went in this morning fully expecting to get round five done with and having only one more to go. Because of Tims rare case of Hodgkins its not clear EXACTLY how to treat it and how many rounds he should have. This morning we found out that because Tim is bouncing back slower they are not sure they want to push to six treatments. Now they are talking that they might stop at four - which would mean he would be done with treatments. So he did not have a treatment this morning. And as it turns out when his blood counts came back, his count was too low to have treatment so he could not have received it anyway.

So the doctors are talking, we are praying and waiting to hear. If he does have more rounds, round five will likely be next week once his blood counts are up.

We will post once we hear what the plan of action is. But for now, please just pray with us that the Lord gives the Doctors wisdom on how to treat Tim.

Thanks friends!

Tim & Joa
