And the beat goes on...................................
Brent had his second treatment on 28 Dec. it didn't go as well as the 1st one. They had stop the meds for he had an reaction which closes his throat up and well you get the picture.
So instead they gave him a syringe of a med that you can only take every 6 weeks and it does a dozy on your immune system. This went directly into his port. He seemed to tolerate this one fine.
He goes back in 12 days for more meds.
I am starting to knit chemo caps for him to wear.
I am hoping to generate new awareness about colon cancer and get people to donate chemo caps to their local cancer centers or mail me caps they have knitted to bring to the University of Arizona Cancer Center.
You can e mail me (bagsforbrent@yahoo.com) for my mailing address if you want to donate knitted caps. Please no "Red Heart" yarn. I know it's cheap but it feels cheap too. The people going through chemo want to have some type of soft and comfort feeling around them. Not something scratchy and feel like they are going to jump out of their skin.
Thanks,
Katrina

Please keep your prayer up for rent, for he is starting a liquid chemo on the 7th of Dec. He is highly allergic to it. Why take it then? For it's the only one that actually killed the tumors in his liver.

3 weeks late but......Happy 39th Birthday, Brent
Looking at the San Juan River in Pagosa Springs. 
Colleen & I got to spend a day at the natural springs. Some parts were up to 105, but we just went to the ones that were 103 and below. We learned a good lesson about how natural hot springs wash off your sun block. Colleen got her 1st horrible sun burn.
We spent a day in Durango too!
We also went to the place where the yummy Durango honey comes from.

The latest from Brent:
Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone. Hope this finds everybody doing well. I had another treatment yesterday, and was very happy and suprised to find that I really didn't break out in hives for the first time in 2 1/2 years since I've been on ironotikan. I don't know if it is because I've been combating my allergies lately with claritan and benedryl,and the new mix helped, or if I get them from just the stress of getting treatment (this time I slept through most or the infusion). It looks like today will be one of those side effect days that not only do I feel nauseated, but will have the hiccups all day long. Ugh! Not much more to report, other than I'll get a good idea of how everything is working when I get a C.T. scan before my next treatment.
May God Bless all of you!
