Well, folks, we’ve officially conquered another milestone in this crazy cancer journey. Josh just wrapped up his first round of consolidation chemo, and let me tell you, the man deserves a medal (and maybe a lifetime supply of those ridiculously comfy hospital socks). He’s been poked, prodded, and infused with enough chemicals to make a […]

Ah, the sweet taste of freedom! He’s been home for a little over a week now, and it feels glorious. Josh is basking in the joys of home-cooked meals (no more mystery meat!), endless cuddles with our furry overlord (aka the dog), and the ability to wear pants without fear of accidental mooning incidents (hospital […]

Freedom! Fresh air! A refrigerator stocked with more than just lukewarm jello and questionable sandwiches! Yes, folks, Josh is officially a free man (well, as free as one can be with a compromised immune system and a lingering fear of hospital food).

Hallelujah! We have good news to report from the chemo battlefront. Josh’s latest bone marrow biopsy results are in, and drumroll please… it’s EMPTY!

(Seriously, I’m starting to think we need an intervention.) But the real reason we’re still here is for […]

Well folks, we did it! We survived the first round of this chemo rodeo. Josh is officially DONE with induction chemo, and let me tell you, the man deserves a medal (and a lifetime supply of saltines). He’s been poked, prodded, infused, and generally messed with more times than I can count, but he’s still […]

Alright, team! We’ve officially reached the halfway point in this induction chemo rollercoaster. Josh is currently sporting a lovely shade of hospital-chic pale and rocking that “I haven’t slept properly in days” look, but hey, who needs a tan when you’ve got cancer to fight, right? Today’s adventure involved a delightful little blood transfusion. Because […]

Well, folks, we’ve officially completed the first part of this injectables marathon. Josh just wrapped up his third round, and I’m happy to report that he’s looking pretty darn good, all things considered. Sure, he’s tired. Like, “I could sleep for a week and still wake up yawning” tired. And yes, there are the usual […]
