It's late and I am tired but I did want to update you on Arnie's progress. After tomorrow's treatment, we will be 3/4 of the way through!!! We saw Dr. Patel this morning after the 14th treatment and again, he was encouraging and upbeat. He told us that the treatments are going as expected and the plan is working as designed.
Arnie is experiencing some tiredness, which the doctor said is normal at this point in the treatment. This seems to be the most significant side effect. What little pain he has had is much reduced, which the doctor says indicates the radiation is doing it's job. Dr. Patel used the phrase "home stretch" to describe our position. We will certainly be glad when we are finally home to stay!
Please keep us in your prayers as we finish this week of treatments and anticipate the 4th and final week of radiation. God has been so good to us - He has met our needs and has answered prayer for us. We are especially thankful for the friendship and support of Joe and Karen, who have been there for us, who without Joe, we would not be at CTCA for cancer treatments. We thank God for providing us with these wonderful friends.
Please send me your emails and comments!
