Hello, from the Mrs Dut. It's been awhile since I've posted, though I remain an avid reader, supporter and admirer. I thought I would give everyone an update from my perspective. I'm so proud of him I can hardly stand it. As we strut through Number 9, I can't believe we are already here and how well Andy has done through all of this. He has been such a trooper. This has been a difficult feat, but has been as easy as it can be because Andy has made the conscious decision to not let it defeat him.
Last session was the least impactful side effect action yet. The general trend with chemo is that it can get worse with time. Needless to say, we are encouraged by Andy's trends so far! Yesterday, I asked the doctor if it was because Andy is building up immunity to the toxins . . . maybe that's why it seems to be getting easier with time ??. . . The doctor said "No, I just think he's tough." The nurses always tell me what a superstar patient he is, and that he's kicking chemo ass with his attitude. Makes me tear up like a mother would. Andy, I'm so proud of you!!!
We are in the chemo groove for sure, and I cannot wait to groove on out of it with you. Here's to number nine! I hope you guys get to jam out extra hard tonight at Number 9, in honor of kissing another round goodbye. Next round Ando and you are in the double digits and practically finito with this crap. You go boy!

Alright Kids! That means three more right? Nice. Y'all hang tight. I got two more treatments, the last one being delivered the 19th of March, the last day of winter, I just realized. I think that's funny, symbolic, and really freakin' cool. Like I shared a dormant state with the trees, plants, and critters through the cold season, and pretty soon we'll all be waking up together, poppin off buds, and blossoming back to full glory to soak up all the summer has to offer. Spring's gonna be off the hook this year. Caught up on the blog tonight. Thanks for all the links, I laughed my butt off.
Proud of you Andy,
Proud of you Mere,
It won't be long now,
Till we grow back our hair.
Man I miss my eyebrows.
Townzen-I'm just as proud of you buddy! I agree with your dormancy analogy. I think springtime is the perfect season for you guys to be coming out of chemo (even though I know experiencing chemo in the winter sucked because of the accentuated tingles). Springtime is my favorite season by far. It is truly a time for life and renewal! Play, play hard boys!!!
Mrs. Dut, they don't come any better than you, girl...I know Andy's doing great cause he has you by his side. You two have it licked...you are both superstars to me. I love you...and the real mom is definitely tearing up. Keep on keeping on, you two!
And, Townzen, keep up the good work...we are cheering you on as well and feel as if we know you through Andy and Mere...you are all made of strong stuff! Good thoughts and prayers and love coming from the Atlanta contingent.
Number 9, Number 9, Number 9....see ya!
buh bye, buh bye now. Number Nine, buh bye.
