But.
I've been getting some email. People want to know what is up with that crazy fella. I am sure they email him, too, but he never tells me that.
But that's another topic.
Wayne and his Dad, Dave, will fly to Houston on Tuesday. Once there, they will lounge in posh hotel rooms and order room service with abandon.
Or not...
What really happens is a lot of hurry up and wait. Get blood work done. Wait. Go to next scan. Wait. Check the schedule. Wait. Another test. Wait.
And then Wayne meets with Doctor Patel on Thursday morning. He'll have his results back. Mostly they will talk about if his cancer has grown, and if so, how much.
They will talk about what's next. We have heard a possibility is high-dose Ifosfamide. This means Wayne will be in chemo 5 days a week (usually a full 7 to 8 hours a day) again. It is a horrible regimen but is necessary. But, that was just a guess by his secondary Oncologist, Dr. Hinshaw, that follows orders from MD Anderson (Dr. Patel). So, we won't know exactly what will happen until next Thursday.
So next week Wayne will be with his dad, for which I am so very grateful. They keep each other strong and are so good to and FOR each other.
I will stay here with the kids. Caeden has parent teacher conferences and I can't help but think about last year. Wayne was recovering from open heart surgery and came to the conferences - and it could not have been more than 2 weeks post surgery.
He is such a good man - which is a total understatement.
Anyway. That is all next week.
If he gets orders to start chemo, it will start the following Monday, April 26th.
This weekend we are trying to finish projects around the house because we know that it will be the last of Wayne feeling good for awhile. Cleaning out the garage, hiding stereo speakers (into the wall, I really, really hope), and grilling food outside while listening to Kenny Chesney (Wayne's go-to music for all things grilling related).
Please keep Wayne in your prayers.
And thank you for continuing to read the blog. I will always keep you updated with his news this way (not email or Facebook).
XOXO
