We have not forgotten about you

We have not forgotten about you. Since last Wednesday, we have been trying to accept and understand what the next step involves and includes. To answer the question you all have in a simple sentence is not easy. We are still waiting to hear from the clinic in Las Vegas and the nurse over our account. So we are unable to answer your questions at this point. Having said that in a clinical and calm manner let me say this a little less softly. We are disappointed that the Il2 treatment was not effective. We thought that nothing could be as difficult to hear or was worse to hear than that initial news of cancer, however, hearing that the five months of pure torture that Andy endured showed little against the tumors was heart breaking. I will not sugar coat the frustration, stress, and fear that has floated over us. They say if you talk about your feelings it will help you to come to an acceptance...I want to smack whoever "they" are and then kick them where it counts. It is not easy to explain in a calm voice over and over again that all is not well and our future is unsure. Andy is understandably worn out emotionally. And to make things harder, there has been a misunderstanding about why we went to Florida. Somehow there are some that think that since we went to Florida Andy's cancer went into remission. This is not even close to the truth. We went because of some incredible people in our life realized before we did that a vacation was needed. Our faith is strong, our hearts are low, but we are not going to give up. There are trials at every turn and we recognize that this is our trial to accept and overcome, no matter the uncertain outcome. We keep you all in our prayers and tell everyone that will listen that it is not by our strength that we have done this well. It is because of all of you. You have taken upon you our burdens and heartache and we are eternally grateful. Thank you.
