Update #22

   As of yesterday Round 14 is now completed. Due to a symptom that has been getting worse in the last number of weeks, Dr. Wong has decided to drop one of Rob's chemo drugs which has been causing neuropathy in his feet and hands. Rob has been experiencing loss of feeling in his feet, mainly his toes as well as tingling in his fingers. These feelings may possibly be restored, however they also may not. So while there is a chance of getting that back, or at least not making it worse Dr. Wong feels it is best to just drop that drug for now. We of course are happy that the doctors take this into consideration, but also hope that this means that the chemotherapy will be as effective as it has been! Of course this is the doctors decision and we know that he is doing the best for Robs treatment.
   Rob has been feeling quite well during the off week of chemo and we hope that one of these Sundays soon we will have an opportunity to go to church together. That is a day that is much looked forward too! We thank you all for your continued prayers for Rob's healing. Our God is a awesome God.
