Yes, indeed, the end is soon coming. Alyson has her last Chemo treatment this Friday and we are beyond excited. It will be great to close this chapter of her recovery and move towards a complete healing. Alyson looks forward to her hair growing back. Oddly enough, Aly told me the other day that she will sort of miss going to the treatments. At first I thought she was nuts or maybe the chemo had fried her brain, but I think she has a point. The nurses at this place are incredible. They treat all patients as people and not as cancer patients, which I think gives the patients a sense of normalcy. Then combine that with the comradery Aly felt with other women who were going through the same thing. I can see how she might miss going to treatment. I will be completely honest with you... I won't miss it at all. Yeah it was a nice place and the nurses are nice but lets face it... it's CHEMO-THERAPY!
Anyway we are excited to be done and will praise God for His continued healing for Alyson. Maybe in 10 years we will look back on this and say, "It wasn't so bad". On behalf of Alyson, I want to thank each and EVERY person who ever said a prayer or thought about Alyson, myself, and Brooks during this time. You all have been a source of tremendous strength for us, and I know that Alyson has done the same for all of you. Through this God will be glorified and we will praise Him until he brings us home.
Following the last treatment this Friday, we have a follow-up appointment with the oncologist on September 5th. I think, but I am not sure, they will do some tests to see if any cancer has survived. Then maybe they will tell us that Aly is cancer free.

Just a question that I have been pondering for sometime. I have been really thinking about the difference between being a "Christian...

This is my first time. I have recently been inspired to create a blog by a couple of my friends. It was appealing to me because they have us...

HALLELUJAH! Praise God that this chapter is nearly complete! I can just imagine that if Aly has loved this place as much as she has that she has been as bright a light there as they have been for her. I bet they miss her too. Maybe she can volunteer there later or something. She will be a source of great hope for many women in her future. She's already that for me! I love that woman. Love you too, Brian. I have so enjoyed praying for the two of you each day and I don't intend to stop now! You're stuck with me!
THE END IS HERE
We are so proud of you both and continue to pray for you. Wish we could be there to throw a big party to celebrate!

I love that you texted me Brian! Max and I were in the doctor's office waiting room when I received it and I wanted to jump up and down, but I refrained for fear of horribly embarrassing Max. We did, however, celebrate together for Alyson in a quieter way thanking God for His healing! In case you wondered, Max broke his collar bone in the JV football game Thursday night in Midland, thus the dr.'s office wait. He's out of football for the season but the good news is he'll be fine for baseball!
