Schedule

Today dad went and met with the radiologist, Dr. Clark (we will have a test at some point, so I hope you're remembering all these names!)

This is the current schedule:

  • Chemo pill, one pill a day for 21 days and then off for 7. (Those might start this week or next.)
  • The first radiation treatment will start next Tuesday at 3:45 PM. He has been "tattooed" to mark the affected areas, and the radiation will target those areas.
  • He's already on steroids to "shrink" the tumors as well.
  • He meets with the surgeon Dr. White tomorrow for a check up.
  • He also will have the PET scan (I think Friday) to make sure there are not other spots.

I know dad has asked that everyone pray for his body to accept the treatment, I also want to add that he will not have ill side effects from the medications/radiation. You hear of some people being nauseous, sick and tired, and then others have no complications! I am asking for NO (or few) complications!!

Thank you for your prayers!

God is SO good!

I am in agreement with you that the chemo is only going to affect the tumors. Symptoms are under his feet! He is redeemed from side effects! AMEN!
