Dear Jane,
Feeling a bit discouraged this afternoon as I sit to write. Adler was
scheduled for Chemotherapy and Scans this morning. However, after his
Oncology team reviewed Adlers blood counts from his last Chemotherapy
session and compared them to previous rounds, they felt Addy's white
blood count (ANC) would be too low to safely move forward with
Chemotherapy today. We rescheduled for next Tuesday. Large pieces of me
feel so very grateful for the extended break from the pummeling that Chemo
delivers. Yet, emotionally, I ache as I realize this extended break
leaves me taxi-ing the cancer runway for the next week in preparation once more, for
the scans/imaging. We haven't had extensive scans performed since the
very beginning of this voyage and I must say my heart feels caught in a
constant "treading water" state. It's a "broad spectrum" sort of fear
that accompanies the pending scans...Seemingly swallowing me whole
everyday.
In an attempt to swim rather than tread, I want to share with you the
sea of love we swam in last Wednesday evening as several young men in
our neighborhood (along with dear family friends and even
my little brother)raised funds for Adlers treatment by shaving their
hair. To watch these beautiful boys (men) so willingly watch their locks
fall to the ground in support of my son, was a sight that will linger
near forevermore.
