haven't updated here medically speaking for a while.  started a new round of chemo this past week to deal with a cancerous growth that we've been dealing with since late summer/early Fall.  It took a while to diagnose as Lymphoma and start the treatments.  The growth has already responded to the medicine by shrinking and the side effects have been minimal thus far with fatigue being the main issue.  Some great news is that my Cleveland Clinic doctor has coordinated this with a cancer center in Findlay which is less than an hour from home instead of the 3+ that Cleveland is.  I took a day off of school for the first part of the 4 week cycle which took about 5 hours but the next 3 weeks involve only a weekly shot so I'll be able to do that after school without missing any more teaching!!!!  I'll have a week off and then repeat the 4 week sequence before heading back up to Cleveland to be re-evaluated.  As always, if Kim and I have the privilege of your prayers, please focus not on my health but that God help us to "count it all joy" (1 James 2.8ff) and that we be focused on praising Him by seeking out sin in our lives and replacing that sin with the righteousness that honors and pleases Him.
