It’s Been Awhile

      It’s been awhile… 9 months to be exact since I posted anything, but today is World Lung Cancer Day so I thought this would be a good day to update you all on Mikes health. He continues to take Retevmo/ Selpercatinib at half dose morning and night and this dose seems to be working. He was supposed to go back to Mayo in July but can’t get in until September. He is feeling good most days besides some side effects like dry eyes and skin, stomach issues, some neuropathy and getting tired easily but he handles it well without much complaining. We even finished 75Hard (you can look it up if you don’t know what that is) in July which was actually a great distraction and taught us discipline! 

     We both made it through C🤫🤒🤧D in December without the highly recommended/pushed 💉 and did great with the MuCullough Protocol. I had it again in June and probably would of just thought it was allergies except for my complete loss of taste for two days, but as far as we know Mike didn’t. 

       Some days are easy and we just live life “like normal people”,  other days are hard and we just put one foot in front of the other and get through the day, but some days are really hard and we just have to trust God and give Him all our worries, anxieties and pain. I’d be lying if I said this Cancer journey is easy but, I think it is teaching us things daily and helping us to grow in our walk with Him.

     We have been enjoying the summer, the sunshine and grandkids softball and baseball games along with swimming and lots of family pickle ball games. Mike has been golfing and even shot a 6 under 66 a couple days ago! We also have a raised garden which Mike made and I take care of as well as two mini goats and 12 laying chickens, 3 roosters and two baby chicks which we hatched in an incubator. We are loving all the fresh eggs and garden produce. 

     We would encourage everyone to enjoy life… stop watching the news… don’t be afraid to breathe the fresh air, get some sunshine, walk in the grass and LIVE!!!❤️🌞🫁
