Door County, Wisconsin that is. Door County is in the Eastern peninsula of Wisconsin and is a great place to visit to really bring you back to nature. Surrounded by Green Bay (the actual bay) and Lake Michigan, the peninsula is a haven for agriculture. There are farm markets with fresh produce available. And what …
And so it begins again….chemotherapy. Today I began my new treatment regiment as my Xeloda finally arrived in the mail this morning. I didn’t waste much time in taking it. It will be a completely oral treatment which lends to the freedom of our current lifestyle. I’m grateful that my doctor understands what I’m doing, …
I started to come down with a cold a couple of days ago. With a compromised immune system, this is something I do not ever need to deal with. Luckily, my white blood cell count has come up a little bit since coming off of the last medication I had been taking. Hopefully, that is …

When you are faced with adversity and struggling with a crisis, it is in those moments that we need to be thankful for the blessings we have. Since visiting with the doctor yesterday, I have been thinking a lot about the treatment I am about to begin, the side effects I may have to endure, …
“You look great.” I hear this comment fairly regularly. It is nice and I am happy I don’t look sickly and frail. And most of the time I feel pretty good. None-the-less, I do have some side effects from treatment and my cancer, I just do not allow them to get in my way. Thankfully, …
The last couple of days we’ve been traveling in the rain. Until now, the good Lord has blessed us with very nice weather (aside from Edmonton, Canada). Our luck could not have held out forever.
