i wanted to extend a happy easter to everybody. this time of year used to mean to me that a great man suffered so i would not have to. as this last 6 weeks has unfolded i realize that His suffering serves as an example for how Faith is strengthened in the darkest of times. it's nice that i'm never walking through this valley alone.
my hair began to fall out this weekend and i tell you there is nothing in my life that could have prepared me for the experience of looking down into my hands after using shampoo and seeing a substantial amount of hair in my hand. after the initial shock wore off, i realized that i felt great, i bounded up the stairs to my bike and started pedaling. jen and i then went out to dinner for the first time since the beginning of the treatment (thanks for the invite jess and vince) and it felt great!!! using anxiety as motivation - that's how we'll push through the tough times.
i hope all of you have a restful weekend - we're almost through cycle 1. jen made me a really cool countdown board for the treatment cycles. i'll post a pic next post as we complete number 1. jen and i also came up with a unique way to chart my progress during the treatment - more details to follow. smiles all around!!!

Happy Easter Jen & Bry!
Thanks for all the positive thoughts (again). The emotions your words convey pass great strength to all of us.
Let the medical treatment do its good work - - while you provide the most important ingredients of all - - faith and a positive attitude.
Enjoy the day and remember all the family and friends who are with you on this journey. You never travel this path alone.
Love Mom and Dad
Hey Bry, this is Cap'n T of the MD clan. We are glad to get these on-line updates and are even happier that things are going so well (all things considered). This is the time for all of us to realize that there is always something bigger out there - that's why we have friends, family, and the Big Man Upstairs.
Very sorry to hear about the hair loss - but at least you'll get it back ;) Welcome to a world sans-shampoo, combless, and windproof.
Our thoughts are always with you, and we wish the small comforts while you beat this thing.
Oh, and the next time you're starved for attention, pick something a little tamer like a pet dog or a world tour. geesh.
[PS-this is my first blog comment. For some reason I have a burning to write some outrageous political commentary that will haunt me in the future.]
Our love,
TJCA
