Hi All!
We've passed the 48 hour mark since Wally's last chemo and he is actually doing better this time around than last! His latest chemo was on Thursday and again uneventful. As I mentioned before, it is a three drug process. The first drug they administer usually will burn some but this time, there was nothing! He slept again through most of the treatment (unfortunately we were there for almost another 6 hours again but it gave me reading time I generally don't get). He has had no nausea or flu-like symptoms so God is definitely answering prayers. The only side effect he has noticed both times has been the effects on his taste buds. Food and drink don't generally taste good the first week so I can make anything, good or bad, because he won't be able to tell the difference:) I have to be more careful the second week though because he can become very vocal on what he wants and doesn't want.
He is still very energetic and I am not able to hold him back. The Wednesday before his chemo he actually flew to Chicago for the day, leaving home at 4:30 in the morning and returning after midnight! You would think that the first thing he would want to do when he got home from Chicago was go straight to bed, but NO! He had to have a bowl of rainbow sherbet! He has decided that sherbet is the cure for cancer because he has felt great ever since he has been eating it. I recommended it to his oncologist - maybe they can do a study on the effects of sherbet on cancer.
His next treatment will be the day after Thanksgiving. He is very thankful that he got his treatment day changed from the day before to the day after! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends or family. I'll keep you posted in a few weeks. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. God is listening!

We are so thankful to hear this news! That is just a blessing from God for sure :) Sounds like Sherbet could also be a blessing from God ~ does only the rainbow kind work? I think you should do your own study and I will write it up and we can go on Oprah together!
The Tolentino family continues to pray for the Carruthers family ~
I've been checking every day and was thrilled to find an update----especially since it was great news! May God continue to bless you both and your family----Still praying, Sherry G.
Thank you for the update Sheri. I check often. The lack of taste is huge. Sorry Wally.
Love you all,
Susie
Hi Wally and Sheri,
Thank the Lord for His loving care of you. Sounds like there is no lack of energy and enthusiasm for life and that is a Joy to hear. I think Sherbert is good and sleeping through the whole thing is a great idea. You are on our hearts continually. Kristi and family are getting settled in Fallon, Nev. with the help of Wade and soon me. God has provided for them so well and so with God there is always such overwhelming thanks.
Take care and Wally see that your beloved gets plenty of rest. smile
Love and Hugs, Janie and Wade
and here I thought mint chocolate chip was the answer. We'll have to try the sherbet
Praise the Lord for answered prayers! You are in our prayers! I covet Wally's energy level...
Maki and family
We love you, Wally! And continue to pray for you...
We look forward to our next positive Wallygram.
Love and Peace-
