We got to see our Oncologist this morning my blood counts looked good so we are ready to start round 9 of Chemotherapy. Our Oncologist said that we will do this round of Chemo then another Pet Scan to see how I am progressing. If we have to do one more after my Pet Scan they will. We are blessed to have such good Dr's who are willing to do everything they can to rid me of my cancer. Your continued prayers for this Chemo to work are definitely encouraged. Thanks so much!
We got to our room today and found out that we had the biggest room on the floor! Maybe they were just saving this room for me because they knew it might be my last round of Chemo here in Des Moines. :) How nice of them! We love the staff here at John Stoddard and they of course welcomed us back with open arms. It feels like a home after so many treatments now but I woke up today full ready to get another round in the books! I just want to kick this cancer's butt!
My appetite is good so far and I even snuck a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich this afternoon. Life is good! I am feeling good so far so lets hope that continues.
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!
God is Good,
Brian Pritchard

Go Hawks. Russ & I did the blood drive yesterday. Red Cross was in town. Prayed for you the whole time and thought of all the Dr's and nurses out there helping you. Bet you are an ALL STAR patient. Will write more soon.

Approximately 22 months ago, God had the following Bible verses "pop out" at me every place I went.
ReplyDelete"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is amirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:7-9
April of this year, it was revealed to me why God wanted all of my family and myself to focus on this verse.
May God Bless You Always!!!!
Love ya!Mom(a.k.a Angela "Faith")
I thought about you all day yesterday and HOORAY for getting down a PB & J sandwhich. Protein is so very important.

Hi there! With every day you are getting closer to the stem cell transplant!! So glad you've started round 9 and praying it will do the job! You know, I am not at all surprised the staff loves you and Stacey. I am sure you share your love of life with them, the same as you do on this blog. It's contagious! May the Peace of Christ be with you both.
