Journey Through Lymphoma

In April of 2009, Bryan and I learned that he has an aggressive type of non Hodgkins lymphoma. Without treatment, we're told, it will take his life in six months. But we know and take comfort that God has a plan, and that He knew the number of Bryan's days before he was born. We've set our minds to focus on our Savior, and the soveriegnty of His will, being thankful for the strength He gives to walk through each day. This is a record of our walk through the valley of the shadow of death...

Shaving Heads

June 3rd was Bryan's second chemo treatment. The pharmacy down at Hopkins had some problems, so we ended up having a very long day, not getting home till 8pm. Bryan's hair had been falling out since last Thursday and had gotten to the point where it felt like pins and needles on his scalp. He was determined to shave it off, even though he was tired and feeling the effects of the chemo.
Our son in law, Andrew, and good friend, Wes, had previously told Bryan that when the time came they wanted to shave their heads with him. Russ also decided to show his support for Bryan, and decided at the last minute to join in on the fun.
