The first two rounds of chemo didn't take. I'm praying that this round is the miracle that I have been waiting for, for we do believe in miracles and prayers. Bo, my DH, has a cruise to Alaska on his "bucket list". The cruise is booked and payed for. We leave June 6 with several family members. I'm praying with all my heart that Bo stays strong and healthy to cross the trip off his list.
