Posted for Sheri...
Hi All,
I know many of you are wondering how Wally’s first chemo session went. I am pleased to announce that it was very uneventful – he actually slept through half of it. :) We had a 2:00 appointment but they actually didn’t start treatment until about 4:45 – translation: we didn’t leave the hospital until 8:00 which made for a long day. So far so good as far as side effects – NONE! At this moment he is really feeling good and I am trying to keep up with him. We were told that this regiment shouldn’t cause too much nausea which was Wally’s biggest concern so if he can get through the next few days he will definitely be a happy camper. They did give him some anti-nausea medication which really knocked him out last night and allowed him a great night of sleep. Regarding loss of hair – he may see some of that after his third treatment but since he is a Carruthers he may be stubborn enough to keep it all!
Thank you all again for your prayers and correspondence. We both so appreciate each and every one of you.
I will continue to keep you posted when I have some updates.

I am glad it went well. We will be here for you for the long haul! If you do lose your hair I bet you be a very handsome bald man or you could wear a bandana. they come in a variety of colors.
Thanks for keeping us far-away folks informed.
Love, Don and Letha
We've been praying for you Sheri and Wally. Susie V.
Hey Wally - I read an article (but didnt' check it out with Snoops) about if your hair falls out due to chemo, and your wife is Italian, and if you have ever put out birthday candles with a fire extinguisher, then sometimes your hair can grow in really really thick and curly, and a bright red color!
Hmmm....we will be waiting.
Love you all and are praying......
I read the same article. But you forgot the part about having 5 kids and know the words to the Rainer Beer song!
Love ya!

Halloween wigs are now 75% off everywhere......
Maybe if your hair falls out you can get that Harley! A do rag with a fake pony tail... just an idea.

Boy you must have grown up in a tough neighborhood Wally - no sympathy from the peanut gallery. We are all praying for your swift recovery. Glad to hear things went well last week.

Hi Wally-
As Romans 5:3-4 says you are building your character (you are already quite the character!). I hope you are finding joy through this time and every day brings renewed hope. You truly are a diamond - rare and strong. I am praying for you, Sherri and family through this tribulation.
Much love-
Anthony
