Radiation Update

Well, when the doctors warned that the side effects of radiation would peek AFTER he completed the 12 treatments, they weren't kidding! Thanksgiving weekend was a rough one! Today he saw the doctor just to keep an eye on things and make sure he was maintaining his weight during all this "metabolic need" time. You could tell he felt so bad just looking at Dad, but encouraged him nonetheless! Blood work was perfect, weight was maintained which is great. Hopefully, things will start to improve over the next week. He stayed for his Erbitux and Zometo infusions and back home to rest.

We will see the doctor again in two weeks to check on things. Other than that, he will press on! Please continue to pray for these side effects and for the radiation to be working and destroying the cancer. Join me as we boldly pray for the report on January 12 to show good news!

Tis the season..Merry CHRISTmas!
