One Less Worry

Yesterday I received a call to notify us that the grant for Mr. Fixit’s  oral chemo medicine has been approved for one more year.

(If you hear a swoosh, it’s my sigh of relief.)

Update

Mr. Fixit received some very good news today regarding the scans he had done last week. The doctor says that some of the nodules have disappeared and the others show significant shrinkage. He will stay on the oral chemo stuff for another year and then the doctor said that he would discuss taking him off the medication. That medication is a miracle. About 20 years ago my sister-in-law was diagnosed with kidney cancer; she was gone in less than a year after it spread to her lungs and her brain. I am so thankful for the medication and the care he has received. We had our 49th anniversary a few days ago. That's a long time, but not long enough. We're going to make it a few more years!
