Doesn't Andrew look great? We had a great hike along the Potomac this afternoon as we continue to enjoy "Forest Bathing" in the hope that the time in the trees is strengthening AJ's white blood cells. It certainly is strengthening our marriage! Who doesn't like a hike on a gorgeous day? We continue to marvel that AJ tolerates the chemo so well, even as the "week two" symptoms of a metallic & sore mouth, loss of taste for certain foods & cravings for others, and general fatigue all begin to creep in. Andrew felt great on the hike but came home to "check" the Steelers/Bronco's game and suddenly felt so exhausted I thought I'd lost him for the evening. Meanwhile, it seems that I cannot even have a pity party for myself without being spoiled by sweet texts (thanks Emily!), sweet conversations (thanks many of you!) and food and flowers (BIG thanks Sue!)
Tomorrow is the Neulasta shot. Please pray that this doesn't affect Andrew too much; he has an especially busy and exciting upcoming week at work. Thanks to all of you for reminding us about what really matters.
