So last Monday was the sixth chemo treatment and will be the last one until they schedule one in September to work alongside the radiation. Last week was really rough. I think my body has had enough of the chemo for a while and I will get a break for seven or eight weeks. What they call the mapping will start on August 20. This is where they start to make a mold that I lay in every day for 5 1/2 weeks for the radiation treatment which will start September 11th. #1 is so that I’m comfortable but 2 so I’m held still while they target the radiation. This is where the rubber meets the road, this is where we kill the cancer! I’m grateful that at least I know dates and kind of can be prepared. I am so grateful that I have such a support posse both in Denver and here in Kansas City. Two fellowships in both cities that have saved my life! I’m not sure what God has in store and it’s been pretty scary to think about. I believe that God‘s got stuff for me that I still need to do here before he takes me home but whatever happens I’ve come to terms with it and will continue to help God‘s kids, no matter what the future looks like. I try to stay out of the outcome business. Again I want to thank everybody that has helped out financially and otherwise, it has been a huge help. I spent a lot of time on the phone, but I’m also grateful that I’m able to work three days a week and be OK. I am ready to ring that bell in the hospital and say that I’m cancer free! Until next time.
