John didn't have IV chemo today because it's his "rest" week. Which gives his body a chance to catch up to all the medicines going in and creating havoc. He is feeling better today. He was able to work part of yesterday and all day today. They say the 3rd week of chemo in any round is usually the worst. John can tell you that's definitely true. I guess the buildup to high chemo concentration is what is the culprit. But he's on the upside now. He was able to work a little tonight on St. Andrew's altar which always gives him a lift. It's a good thing he didn't have the IV today because maybe he'll have a good week next week for Holy Week services everyday. I just pray that when he sees the oncologist on Thursday and then takes the 1st IV in the next round that it doesn't make him too bad for Pascha. This Lent, Holy Week and Pascha have really "taken root" in ways that really have strengthen his faith and peace for what ever may come. Please continue to pray for him.
