I'm getting over that mid-way hump. I've got 18 more radiation treatments. All the staff at Thomas Cancer Survival Center are great. Jim went with me and he has a lot better understanding of what all is involved. They let him ask all the questions he wanted to and explained everything in detail. I think he had a whole different idea of what it really was. I see the doctor once a week and he is pleased with the progress. So far, no skin burns or irritation. I am feeling the fatigue that I was told would happen. I thought I could outdo it but I have had a rough week. I think sleeping 13 hours says that I am more tired than usual. I also was told I would loose my appetite. They don't want me to loose weight, which I need to, but I don't have much of an appetite right now. Once I sit down to eat, I have no trouble eating. I've never had to be hungry to eat ! Thanks a million to the night Circle at church for the wonderful meal, which we spread out to two nights, and for the second meal we were able to freeze and can use this week. "Comfort food at it's best". You need to know that you brought it on the hardest day I have had !!! Thanks and I love each and every one of you. I have had so many sweet cards with wonderful Bible verses of inspiration, which helps me keep my head up and thank God every day for the life he has given me.
We went out Friday night to Jimbo's play at Powell High School with Rick and Vikie. He is doing great. He was using his cane, but just for security mainly. He has decreased from 3 days a week to 2, for therapy. He is staying positive and knows that he is progressing. He is so very thankful that God has been by his side and keep him strong.
Thank you for keeping me and my family in your prayers.
