3rd Treatment

Tom's 3rd Treatment was last Monday before Thanksgiving.  He is doing well, better than what the oncologist had lead us to believe.  He is still able to work most days but has missed about 1 day a week since the treatments began.  The main side effects that he has experienced have been nausea and tiredness and the sensitivity to cold.  He cannot touch anything cold without the feeling of needles sticking in his hands.  His feet are very sensitive to cold also.  We have tried to take all the normal precautions, good pair of gloves, the hand warmers that you can buy at stores, etc.  He also cannot drink anything cold or it gives the sensation of glass going down his throat.  The side effects are not as bad as they could be.  We know that it is by God's grace that he has been this fortunate.  


Thanks again for you prayers and keep it up!  We have 5 more months to go!
