We've completed week 4 of the second round of arsenic. Tim's blood numbers are stable. We've figured out how to handle the methotrexate. So even that goes down without problem, if not easily. We had a long talk with the psychologist today. Not fun or comfortable, but probably useful. Tim is hoping to get out and have a little fun this weekend. We're going to try to take in a movie with the boys. We may even get to church.
We both hope and dread the end of the arsenic. We aren't looking forward to the stem cell transplant except as the beginning of the end. We hope that everything will go well and that we'll return to a normal life on the other side. However, we have faced so many setbacks over the years that we also greatly fear that even if the transplant is successful, the leukemia will return. At the moment, we are trying very hard to enjoy the present as much as possible and let the future arrive in its own good time.
