Hi Everyone! Due to the demands of life, I will no longer be updating the blog with Dan's progress.  If you wish to see how he is doing, Dan invites you to call or text him personally at 585-789-7904. Dan had chemo this week but had more side effects and pain than anticipated.  He will get with the heart doctor this week to see if they need to update his meds. Pain in jaw, nosebleeds, headaches, other pain are the effects he is experiencing and more frequently and longer durations. He is doing okay but wishes he had more energy.  Treatments make him weak and tired all the time and understandably, he is sick of it.  But we are forging ahead and anticipating the CT scan this Thursday to see if the cancer has shrunk.  At least we were able to enjoy the great weather at camp this weekend and see our awesome camp friends, other friends and family. Thank you so much for the support, well wishes and cards that keep coming. To the Johnson's: Dan got a kick out of the "good luck&qu

So sorry I haven't updated this in awhile.  Been very busy.  But feel free to reach out to Dan anytime for an update. Dan had his long chemo last week and was give the strong chemo in a "ball" to bring home for a 2-day drip.  This time he did not need to go into the hospital for his treatment.  Because of all the meds he had to take before and during treatments, he did not experience any pain nor heart issues.  We are so relieved!  The strong chemo was given at 50% strength.  We do not know if the doctor will eventually up the dosage gradually as ideally, he should receive 100% strength. Dan was feeling stronger up until his chemo day.  Now that his chemo is every two weeks, he should be able to enjoy more good days in-between chemo treatments.  Dan is excited that we opened up camp and we are going to try to go this week, depending on how he feels. Dan get s a CT scan on 5/18 to see if the tumor shrank. He will be receiving one more treatment before this. The chemo leave
