Angel Island

Yesterday we took the ferry to Angel Island. Its an island in San Francisco Bay that is part of the California State Park system and is a designated National Historic Landmark. It has been used for an immigration station and a military base and a holding place for Japanese and German POW'sIt was also the location of a Nike Missile site that was decommissioned in 1962. The island has over 13 miles of hiking trails, amazing views and several historical buildings to wander through. We spent the day hiking and taking plenty of pictures.
It's been exactly three months since Bobby called to tell us the results of his biopsy...........Stage 4 Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. A lot has happened in the last three months. Bobby has one more scheduled chemo infusion on Monday. We should find out what the next step will be regarding treatment. We also expect tests to be done to show what is happening with the tumor. We're praying that it is gone. Bobby is feeling good. He has been spared the majority of the possible side effects. His arms are getting sore from the infusions and he has some swelling and redness at the insertion sites. He is much weaker than normal, has some serious fatigue at times and soreness but most days he feels good and looks good. We are very thankful. We're praying and waiting and know we're being taken care of.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
