Friday, Les finished his second round of chemo. They gave him a shot to generate more white blood cells that will last for the next 14 days. He may have some bone pain because of it, but he hasn't complained yet. His voice is very weak; an effect of the steroids. His throat pain is back, so we are wondering if that is what happens with his body after chemo. Because of the pain, eating has become almost non-existent again.
He will see Dr. Sexina, his primary physician on Tuesday, June 9th. They changed the dates of the CAT/MRI to June 10 @ 2:45pm. The third round of chemo is now tentatively scheduled for June 17 - 19th. He seems very tired and weaker than we've seen him recently.
He still continues to enjoy short visits, but as we hit the 7 - 10 day window after chemo, we may ask for a temporary break. We'll keep you posted on how this round of chemo interacts with his body. Thanks for checking in and we hope you are having a nice weekend!

Glad to read the latest update; they sure are nice to have! I hope Les's week will go by quickly and he'll be able to eat. I understand about the visits. I think about him so often, but feel like too many visits are not good so I'll just communicate through this site. I pray that God will keep giving the Blobaums His strength and love.
