Boring Is Good

Ashtyn is on day 6 out of 22 of this current chemotherapy round. She is still participating in a clinical trial, drinking the study drug Venetoclax everyday in addition to receiving the same three chemotherapy drugs given in April. She is doing well and currently outpatient at the Ronald McDonald House. Each day she swallows 32 pills and I give her a one hour infusion medication through her central line, most of which are suppose to help prevent possible chemo side effects. In all the years of fighting cancer, I always hope for a boring chemotherapy round. So far her body is tolerating the chemotherapy well and things are boring. That gives us a lot to be grateful for. It also gives us a lot of time to feel isolated and lonely. Today I read many of the cards Ashtyn has received while being in Seattle. I regret not writing down the packages and cards she has been given so I can write thank you notes. We are extremely grateful for the generous gifts and loving cards. If you have sent something, please know it did not go unnoticed and our gratitude is sincere. We are thankful everyday to know each of you are standing on the side lines cheering us on. It makes us not feel so alone. Though we don't know where the finish line is, Ashtyn is fighting hard and determined to get there.  Please pray she will remain healthy, boring, and be cancer free by the end of June.
