Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been really busy with the start of teaching and graduate school classes. I found myself trying to cram a lot of stuff into the two weeks I had before round 2 of the Xelox treatment. I also got to announce a couple of Wheaton College women's soccer games this past weekend.
Apparently, the symptoms I had last time don't fit the normal profile of side effects. My doctors thinks it's possible that I just got a bug last time and that I might tolerate better a slightly reduced dose this time. I had my infusion of oxaliplatin and have taken the first of 28 doses of the Xeloda. So far, I am feeling okay, but not great. We'll see how things go and I may have to stop the treatment again, if I have the same symptoms.
I'll try to keep you updated over the next couple of weeks about how I well I am tolerating the drugs. Thank you to everyone who has sent cards, Facebook messages and for all of your prayers.
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:1-4 (New International Version)
Daniel, Lillian and Oliver

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (New Living Translation)
