The Upside Down Cancer Show

Cancer can take you and shake you up and down. It can empty out all your pockets and make your hair stand on end. Today was like that.

After a wonderful get away, Clark and I met with his oncologist this morning. We meet with his doctor every time before chemo to ensure all the blood work is in line and Clark's body can handle the toxicity of chemo. Today the initial blood numbers were low. Low enough for Clark to be placed in a wait and see mode. We had to wait and see what the remaining blood results told before being given the green light for chemo. If given the green light for tomorrow's chemo, I would be taught on how to give Clark shots to boost his immunity. Clark was not looking forward to this. If no green light, Clark's chemo would be delayed by a week at least.

Clark was frustrated a little as well since he was feeling really good. He had developed a small blood blister under one of his fingernails but his doctor said it was not an issue unless it got worse. Chester and his cousins were playing mind games with Clark and Clark was not in the mood to say the least.

While waiting for the call, we realized this is not in our hands but God's. We asked the people we know to pray. We knew The Upside Down Cancer show with Chester and his cousins was going to test our faith but also strengthen it.

Early this evening we got the call that Clark was a green light for chemo tomorrow. Prayers were answered and the curtains were called on the Upside Down Cancer Show for today.
