Radiation Day 1
We met with the Oncologist this morning. After he reviewed the MRI he called the physician at the Hope Cancer Center. She had him come down to begin treatment today. He will most likely get 5 doses of the radiation to shrink the brain lesions. After about a week off of the radiation he will begin the Chemo for the liver cancer. Chemo will be administered every 3 weeks for 3 days a week. He should be in remission after the 18th week (6th week of treatment). He has had a rough day as things just keep coming. We are crossing our fingers that we can call this plate full and start the recovery process. Thanks again for all the prayers. We are all in His hands. The staff has been AMAZING at LUH. He loves his visitors so come on over if you are in the neighborhood. He is in room 5014 and HOPEFULLY going back to 332 (home) on Monday/Tuesday.

We wish we could be in the neighborhood and see all of you to give you a hug. The 18 hour drive from frozen Indiana would be long. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I thought of your family when I read this. If you're a Starbucks fan, you may recognize it, It's The Way I See It # 259 written by John Kellenyi, it reads "People, say, oh I could never do that! But, when you meet cancer patients you understand the bravery and spirit those people show each and every day. Their struggles and spirit motivate you to test the limits of your endurance to cross the finish line. You'll be surprised at what you can do." I hope these words inspire you all to be brave in the face of such an unexpected trial, proving that you really can endure when you have to.
