Very Early on Day 63

I was having a hard time sleeping tonight and came down to the computer for the first time in a few days. I was looking at Saturday's hockey scores and then decided to go to Greg Liptak's page and check on him. I had some info about Greg on the blog a few weeks ago and then took it down and I just left the link to his blog. Greg is currently in Hospice and resting comfortably with his family. Greg's parents left a post on Friday and talked about educating people to get checked for colon cancer before it's too late. It sounds like many of Greg's friends are now getting checked and that is a little good news in this sad time. I wish Greg and his family the best.

Today marks the last day of the 3rd cycle(Day 21) and tomorrow will be the start of the 4th and final round of chemo.I'm not really sure what to say about it. Of course, I am looking forward to it being over but... I also realize what the next 2+ weeks will be like. I don't really have anything to say about any of this and just want to get it over with.

I will post again on Monday.

edrgunkSam,

With Dave and Cathy here I did not see your previous blog and now that I have I am wondering about the results of your breathing test, blood test, etc.

It was soooo wonderful to see you last night as I can hardly remember seeing you feel as well. I am not expecting it to last as you have already stated, but I am thankful that there is only! 1 week more of actual Chemo and then the 2 weeks of treatment & recovery after that. I know this will not be easy and always remember that Steve and I are here 24/7 for all of you.

My heart aches for Gregg's family and I Thank God every day that at least you had the chance for a full recovery.

We love you with all our hearts and know that you will get through this, just because you have been so determined to be well again. I might have given up. It was a long road for you and yours and I know you will see the end.

Lovingly,

Mom
