Time Again

Layne goes in for tests on Monday and sees the doctor on Tuesday for the results. I'm glad it's only a one day wait this time. It's been awhile since he's been in to see the oncologist. He's needed to do some of the tests for the clinical trial at the same intervals. But, Dr. Garrido gave him a break for 'good behavior' this last time around. So, we'll see what happens next.

5K

Layne's going to be running a 5K in April. It's a nice thing to hear him talk about training again. The oddest part is the fact that he's training for a 5K. He used to be involved in 5Ks as a way to get his exercise on an 'easy day'. I guess once a runner - always a runner.
The run is actually to help raise funds for Huntsman. We think it's a good cause. So, we'll see how that part of it goes. Maybe I'll put a link up for those who might be interested. (Although, obviously no pressure.) I'm pretty sure he thought it would be a good cause for a come back.
I just realized most of this is a repeat of an earlier post. Sorry.

More of the Same

We've been continuing to move forward. Layne is spending a little more time at work. He's also training for a 5K. It seems odd to think of him training for a 5K - he hasn't run in a long time. Back in the day, a 5K was just what he counted as an easy work out for the day. Now it's a big deal. I'm glad. I think he still considers himself a runner.
We're a little back and forth with work. He's working on things and yet they're trying to still make sure they have a space for him. We will need to change our health insurance. We're thinking it'll end up being less coverage for more money. Apparently, that's just how things go.
I'm glad he's been able to do a bit more. But, he still gets tired and doesn't feel so great most of the time. I guess that's what happens when you have a constant supply of chemo in you.
