Well, last Friday was the last radiation treatment. Praise God. He has really been through it. We have been told that the next two weeks won't feel much like he is "finished" because everything he did the last week is still in his body and coming to a peak this week. So please continue to pray for his comfort. The left side (the side of the original tumor) has healed remarkably! Therefore, we have complete faith that the right side will do the same. It seems so much worse because of the combination of the two treatments...radiation with the chemo. So, for now we are healing and waiting. He goes back to Dr. Hardacre in another week just to check on the healing and then again two weeks after that. Hopefully then he will be healed up enough for a PET/CT scan. That is what we are waiting and praying for! He will see the chemo doctor for a follow up in 6 weeks. By then, hopefully we will have been to Dr. Holmes or at least have an appointment scheduled to see what our next step will be. It has been a LONG 4 1/2 months and we still have a LONG way to go, but we are getting there.
Stephen, Patrick, Callie and I are going to the beach next week and Mom and Dad are coming with us for the first part of the week! Yeah! We are looking forward to it. I know Dad will be happy to be anywhere as long as there are NO TREATMENTS!
Please pray for his continued healing and for the upcoming scan!
