white cars are cooler in the summer than black ones too.

Having been the owner of both black and white cars the white don't show the dirt near as bad as black cars do. And yes white cars are much cooler than black cars. My black '69 Roadrunner with black naugahyde interior was pure hell in the summer back in Tennessee.

ETA Zac continues to do well with his chemo.

He had another session today and came though with flying colors. I just talked to him and he sounded great. I did notice last week on my day with him that he was losing strength however.

I had to help him get up a couple of times and he struggled with a few things. I'm still very confident about his ability to kick this thing in the butt.

Unklescott - You let Zac know that I'm thinking of him. Yes I do believe that he will kick it in the butt..

Aww Unk. Please know Zac is in the entire buglover clan's prayers nightly for a speedy recovery!

Unk, thanks for the update on Zac. I am with everyone else that knows he will kick this thing in the butt! He remains in our prayers as well.

Best wishes to Zac on his treatments. It's so hard when kids are sick. But these treatments will all pay off when he's back to 100%.

Bunny555 · 07-15-2008, 07:27 AM

All good wishes and prayers going out to Zac!

Good to hear an update on Zac. I'm not surprised the chemo is making him feel a little weak. Those treatments knock the snot out of grown-ups!

Expect tiredness for about a year after treatment. That's something they don't always tell you. When we were told that in support group, everyone was surprised and relieved. Lots of love to the little guy.

Unklescott · 07-15-2008, 07:15 PM

Thanks Gut. We were aware that tiredness was a side effect of the treatments, but I didn't know it would last that long. The steroids have caused him to turn into a little chunker.

I picked him up for lunch today. As we were getting into my car he asked me "Grandpa is this really my car?" I told him yep it would be his one day. He said "Cool" with a big ol' smile on his face. I asked him if he had been telling his friends he had a car and yeah he had been telling everybody. I'm getting him a shirt made with a picture of the car and the caption "Zac's Cruiser" printed under it.
