Hello!
Well- here it is May already!! Can you believe it??
Quick update on George- he is still toughing out chemo treatments. For the most part, he handles it pretty well. He does have some ups and downs, as would be expected. Over all- he's a real trooper- and as he says "I'm still here!" :-)

This is how he feels a lot of days:















On April 20th, we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary!! We opted to stay local and celebrated at LaComedia Dinner Theatre in Franklin, OH. We saw "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" and had a great time!

A dear family member celebrated his 40th birthday this year, and his wife threw him a Disco Birthday Bash. We showed up in style....

George had been having some increased pain in his leg, and we were really worrying that it was a tumor area getting "ugly" again... but after an MRI we had some great news- he needed back surgery! I know, that's not usually good news, but when you get a NON-cancer diagnosis for something you fear IS cancer-related, and it can be FIXED, you tend to get excited anyway. :-)

A couple weeks after the surgery, he is already noticing a huge improvement. Yay!

So... I think that's about it for now. He's not feeling great this week- but after a month of chemo, then back surgery, then chemo again, you can't blame him. Please pray he is feeling better soon, and that he can SLEEP- that seems to be an issue lately, and it's starting to really take a toll on his quality of life right now.
Thank you for all your care, support, and prayers.
xoxo.
