Hey everyone. Sorry i took so long again. The past few days I wasent feeling too good and sleeping a lot! But now I am up and awake and ready to share the last 2 weeks with you. When I had chemo on the Tuesday (which I have to thank my Grandpa and Grandma Kobes for taking the time to drive me there and back. Thanks a lot!) Where was I? Oh, I was fine after chemo. I had no side effects of nausea or anything, so I am very grateful for that. The biggest concern the past 2 weeks has continued to be my right foot, due to a pinched nerve i'm in a lot of discomfort, so I am on pain killers again to ease the pain. Last week Thursday, at around 9 in the morning, I passed out after going to the bathroom. Hit my head on the sink, and landed hard on my shoulder and elbow. No one was around to hear it, so when I came to which was basically right away, I made my way back to bed and fell asleep again for a couple hours. I saw my doctor this past week and he says the chemo is going very well and I am responding great to the injections. Also, I am now taking 2 injections every other week instead of 5. The doctor is also making appointments for me to see a specialist for my fainting spells and a neurologist who specializes in the nervous system.
Right now I am feeling well and trying to get as much done as possible before chemo again on Monday. Thanks again to everyone who has sent me cards, flowers, money, and other gifts. I really appreciate it. This time I will do my very very best to write sooner.
Thanks for your patience and I'll talk to you next week

Hi Martin; I hadn't read your blog in a while (I've been updated by your Mom instead) but it is nice to hear from you how things are going. Sounds like you have had a bit of a rough week with your fainting and your foot pain. Please keep us up to date with any results as we think of you often and pray for you every day. You are not traveling this road alone and I am happy to read that you feel supported by your friends, family and your church family. It was great to see you in September and to hear from you how positive you are about your illness, your unwavering trust in God and your acceptance of his will in your life. We love you Martin.
