Well we went to the oncologist on Wednesday and Jim's white blood cell count is very low. She is only going to give him (2) more taxotere treatments and then scan him in August. He has lost 11 lbs. in 2 weeks which was concerning her as well. She did mention that the pain he was experiencing last week was that he had built up a tolerance to the pain meds and needed to up the dosage. She said it was not indicative of the tumors growing. At least that made me feel a little better....

The house is a disaster - his brother ran the jobsite while we took a quick trip out of town so that his parents could meet my mother. They started to roof the house, left for the evening without a tarp on it and low and behold, murphy's law visited, it poured down rain and soaked the inside of the house...so now it's going to cost us more in money, but more importantly time!

I hate this dreaded disease!
