Today was one of those days that I found myself with nothing to say - couldn't even use my regular formatting as no quote seemed to fit the mood of the day either

My son is faced with some decisions:  push forward with an aggressive chemo schedule with infusions every two weeks [even tho the tumors continue to grow] and feel sick, or fall back to an easier schedule, knowing that the tumors will grow more quickly.  His doctor recommended an easier schedule, feeling his body needs a rest, citing the fact that he has landed in the hospital twice now after an infusion.  My son worries about "losing momentum" in the fight against cancer

In the end?  it is a quality of life issue and only he can decide.

The night ended in tears.
