Update waiting for an update

Friday marked the end of "Round Two" of chemo.

Another 8 week series has been completed.

This is week 9, the week we get PET scans and
blood work and visit with Dr Sharma.

We find out what that nasty little bugger is doing 
inside Kyle.

Shrinking? Staying the same? Hopefully not growing.

I feel like every single nerve in my body is on edge,
alive and quivering.

This whole waiting from week to week (for the rest of 
our lives) is exhausting and hard.

But it's like Kyle said, "We don't have a choice, this
is our new normal."

And new normal it is.

So we will keep you posted when we know the results.

In the meantime?  

Hug us!  Tell us you love us!
Tell us you're thinking about us!  Text Kyle. Email him.
Don't pretend he doesn't have cancer.

He may be feeling better, but just so you know folks?

We still wake up EVERY.SINGLE.DAY with this hanging
over our heads.

It will never go away.
The emotional burden of it all is a heavy weight to 
carry alone.

We ABSOLUTELY need to know people "have our backs" so
to speak.

And ignoring it.

Or pretending it's all gone away?

That doesn't help.

We will keep you posted.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of cancer and chemo and worrying.
It takes a lot out of a person.
And a family.

It's been a long hard week or two for us.

Harder than some of the others.

But I'm assuming this will pass, just like all the other
emotions that keep coming and going.

Updates are coming.

That's what I've got for today.
