Radiation treatments finished

I had my final radiation treatment this past Wednesday.  I am looking forward being able to get some rest and not have to get up and go to the hospital each morning. After my final treatment I met with the Radiologist and he set up an appointment for me in one month.  He has also placed me back on one round of steroids to help reduce any possible swelling caused by the radiation treatment.

I am thankful to everyone who has constantly prayed for me throughout my illness.  Please know that my family still needs those prayers even when I do not update the blog on a regular basis.  I am also thankful that I had very few side effects from the therapy - some hair loss on the left side of my head to compliment the loss I was already experiencing prior to my illness, and some minor fatigue.  My hair should begin regrowing in 6 to 8 weeks and the steroid treatments have already reduced much of the fatigue.

Please pray for:

• My wife and son - that they would be able to handle the unique pressures that they are experincing
• The doctors - that they would have Godly wisdom in setting up my treatment plan
• Me - that I could continue to be the spiritual leader of my family and that we would all find rest and refuge in our God
