Hi everyone,
I know that lots of people have been asking about Mark. He seems to be in good spirits as always, and wants to extend his heartfelt thanks for all of the cards, e-mails, thoughts, and prayers. He has not been feeling well enough to keep up with all of the e-mails, letters, and phone calls, so I have started a blog to keep everyone updated. Mark had his first round of chemo last Thursday and Friday. The doctor is happy with his blood work and how he is handling his chemo.
Mark will be receiving his second round of chemo this Wednesday and Thursday, he will continue this schedule every other week. He is suffering from lack of sleep due to discomfort in stomach and stiff neck from sleeping in the same position all of the time. He is taking acupuncture with supplements to help relieve pain and anxiety. He still has fire in his eyes, and spirit in his heart to take the battle head on. A Niederschmidt knows no other way. After the next several chemo treatments they will be doing a comparison cat scan. We will update everyone as soon as we have the results. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Please let him know that we have him in our thoughts. Also let Brian know too. <3 you all :)
ReplyDeleteAndy and I will keep Mark in our thoughts and prayers.
