Well, hello to all. As we enter the third week of treatment for Leroy, I figured I should get this blog up and running so that everyone would know how he is doing daily. I may not post daily but I will try to post at least twice a week. I am co writing this blog with Kristen so some up dates might be from me, Stephanie, or from Kristen, Mike’s wife. Leroy has chemo once a week and radiation five times a week. As you can image this is very taxing on his body. He is tired after radiation and needs a lot of sleep these days. Then there is the chemo, nasty nasty chemo, it is making him sick to his stomach and is now lasting longer than a day. With that said he has lost A LOT of weight.
For now we ask for prayer for healing, strength and to be able to eat. Thank you all so much for your continued support and love. Thank you thank you thank you!

Leroy, we're so thankful you haven't been as sick this week from the chemo. We'll pray for you next week as you have the tests on top of the treatments. Lois, we're thankful someone will help you with the driving responsibilities.

Love,
Carolyn

Thank you for the heartwrending update. Such sadness mixed with such joy...so many conflicting emotions. I am reminded of Lee's father's bravery during his last days and his never wavering Faith and witness for God. Such abundant peace and joy await Lee and the rest of us must also find comfort in that knowledge.
Love you always,
Linda McLaren
