Monday (tomorrow) is the first day of chemo...Unfortunately we still don't know which arm of the clinical trial she will be on, and we won't know until we go in tomorrow to begin treatment. This is mostly due to the Thanksgiving holiday...so while the Germans worked at the end of the week last week, we Americans did not....We were hoping to hear something at least on Friday, but it did not work out like that.
The Thanksgiving holiday was great, however. Megs and Trip made the trip back to Charlotte after just being here the the previous weekend, and we, of course, had Linda and the kids with us. We had a number of neighbors and friends stop by to bring food and desserts, even though we didn't need anymore. We fried one turkey, and smoked another just to ensure that we had plenty of leftovers for the coming week. Guess what...we are already almost out of turkey... so we only made it through one weekend of leftovers!
We are thankful for all of the sweet messages you've been sending, and we are thankful to be able to spend the holidays with people that don't just want to be together, but need to be together. So maybe we cry here and there and confuse our children/grandchildren, but for the most part we are laughing and telling stories and starting to remember more of the good times that we collected over time, rather than the bad ones at the end...
The coming weeks hold much uncertainty, but we are not uncertain about the love and support that surrounds us. We are truly blessed to go into this battle not wanting anything other than to fight a good fight, and win in the end.
I'll let you all know how she's doing tomorrow after her first treatment. Love you,
Kyle & Allyson
