I know some of you could just hear me break out into song when you read that title. I still do that even in the most challenging times because singing makes me happy. I’ve been listening to a lot of inspirational music lately because it reminds me of all that is good. It reminds me that even when you feel beaten down it is your choice whether you keep going or not. It reminds me that there is a plan that only He knows.

Our plan is to fight again and get Dave back into remission. He is now on a new medication called Ponatinib. He will receive Round B of chemotherapy and will have a bone marrow biopsy in three weeks to determine if this plan succeeded. We will travel to Karmanos three times a week and hospital stays will be determined by his counts and overall health. Blood and platelet transfusions are inevitable. We will watch closely for any changes and respond accordingly.

Our team is growing larger and stronger and we are fortunate to have so many teammates “pulling the rope.” Day-by-day, even hour-by-hour, we will conquer cancer and kick it to the curb.
