If you have been wondering what's happening in Marlo-land, I apologize for the long silence (and for having a tendency to only update when there is drama...). Here's the news:
Tomorrow and Tuesday he goes to the cancer center as an out-patient, to receive the beginning of HIS FINAL ROUND OF CHEMO. Then, next Wednesday, he'll go in the hospital for 3ish days, to complete this last cycle.
(This is a revised plan from the original, because he was having such extreme reactions to the treatment. Since the half-way mark pet-scan returned showing the cancer in remission, the doctors have felt comfortable revising things a bit.) (I will confess that at first I was unsure that this was a good idea, but within the last two weeks or so have felt a great peace that all will be well.)
When the final round is complete, he will have more scans and a bone biopsy to see if he is truly free and clear from all cancer-like invasion. We should know by mid-June where we stand, which seems both impossibly short and impossibly long from the time this journey began.
I just spoke with them, and Marlo reports that he is feeling better than ever, even back to 'normal.' We continue to thank you all for your prayer and care--we have truly been overwhelmed by the goodness of God and of all those who love us in the midst of uncertainty.
I will try to be good about keeping you posted, and --in the meantime-- send so much love!
