Quick update! Jimmy has not been able to post because a month ago we moved into our new house- which is awesome, but a lot of work to make it our own. We are currently putting a french drain in our backyard with the help of a family friend (Thanks Woos!) and just had our basement finished. Our lot is a quarter acre and the dogs love the yard. My parents came last weekend and helped garden :) Pictures of the house to come!
Back to Cancer- Jimmy had his 12th and last ABVD treatment on April 27, three weeks ago today. He was quite relieved to have his last one, as the past few have been rougher with a little more side effects. At the end of treatment, he was able to ring a bell surrounded by all the nurses on duty- which was pretty neat.
Three weeks later he feels great, high energy and an awesome attitude. Not completely normal though, and he feels out of shape. He managed to gain weight during chemo, and kept a decent amount of hair! We thought it looked darker last week, but noticed the other day it was still falling out. We will have to wait a little longer to see if he gets the chemo perm!
I have kept him plenty busy with things to do around the house and shopping for our wedding registering this week. He has been teaching flyfishing seminars every weekend (through June) with Orvis and is looking forward to getting back his days off to get on the river. No more chemo! :)
His first followup appointment with PET scan is June 25th. We will find out then if he is officially cancer free. Mark your calendars- July 14th remission party at our new house- everyone's invited :) Thanks again for all your support these last 6 months! We are so lucky to have awesome friends and family in town.
