Mom & Dad’s AC broke yesterday. Jim and Dad worked on it and fixed one thing, but then ended up with a hole in the dryer and it’s leaking freon everywhere. They are suppose to try and fix it today, but they have to find a replacement dryer and then find a welder that can weld the new on so we don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for a new AC unit.
Yesterday’s treatment

Well, yesterday’s bcg treatment went much better for Steve. He still had pain and burning but with the new medicine it was more bearable. He still was in the bathroom a lot but was able to help cook lunch some and talk to people without yelling and fussing. Two more, then biopsy with removal of stent. I hope this all comes out clear. He is not sure he wants more treatments any time soon if they find anything. He wants some time to heal and get his strength back. We agreed to talk to the doctor if they find more cancer. We both feel that they won’t find any. We will know after August 24th. We will keep all posted.

Well, today was the first treatment in round 2 of the cancer battle. Not good. Steve feels real drained, like crap and in pain. Looks like this round is going to be very, very hard on him. Please keep him in your prayers.
Thank you,
Brenda

Well, the catheter is out. The cancer is very early stage and has not spread anywhere. Start new round of BCG treatments Tuesday the 6th of July for six more weeks. All in All everything looks great.
