Quick Update / Post

Hi All -

Just have a minute but wanted to let you all know how things are with Michelle. She is feeling quite a bit better though still pretty sore. You just don't realize how much you use the muscles in that upper portion of your chest - including brushing your teeth! - so Michelle still has limited movement of her right arm at the moment if she doesn't want to deal with the discomfort. Still, not to be unexpected I guess and she is progressing.

At this point, unless she really improves, more than likely she will have them do the first week of chemo through IV into a vein in her arm. She is concerned that the port area is just too sore for them to be accessing it, since they actually have to get a hold of it before inserting the needle. We shall see...

Please pray that the remaining pain/discomfort subsides quickly, even by Monday so that they can use the port for the treatment. Pray also that Michelle will tolerate the treatment(s) well! Thanks so very much for your prayers, we definitely feel them!! We will write again soon; much love to you all - Steve and Michelle -
