"We know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us"

Hello Everyone! So it turns out I'm really awful and keeping this thing updated, my apologies. Josh just finished up his 6th treatment, and we couldn't be happier. Our last visit with Dr. Chen went pretty well, all the tumors have continued to shrink and he thinks we should be done. He will have another PET scan in two weeks to see where he's at, so I promise I will update the blog as soon as we get the results.

What a wild wild ride this has been, this week has been a week of reflection for me, my emotions have been all over the place, so you can imagine how Josh has been feeling. Thinking all the way back to January when we found out he was sick, I thought this would never end and I was going to feel like my chest had a brick sitting on top of it for the rest of my life. Oh but we learn to adapt to our environment and we figure out how to deal. Josh has done amazing throughout this whole ordeal, he has kept his spirits up the whole entire time, and I admire him for that. This experience has changed him, and it is quite obvious, he carries himself differently then he did 6 months ago. We never thought that we would have to get over such a huge hurdle at such a young age, but what doesn't kill you only make you stronger, there is some serious truth in that statement. I think we have both learned to not sweat the small stuff, treat others the way you would like to be treated, and above all LOVE! To all of our friends and family thank you for all the support, we are so lucky to have all of you, you guys have helped us in a tremendous way and just saying thank you doesn't do you guys justice. Please continue to keep Josh in your thoughts and prayers as we move forward and hopefully close this chapter and move on to next! We love you all! XOXO
