Radiation Likely in my Future (3.0)

Boy it has been a while since I updated this blog.

Anyway, I am not about three weeks done radiation. About four weeks are left to go.

Anyway, while going for radiation I have come to meet several other cancer survivors who need prayer.

Several have gone through the trial of chemotherapy. I am so thankful I have not had to undergo chemo yet.

I have met a survivor who had lung cancer 10 years ago and has survived (that is rare I think). Now she has a tumor in another location (forgot where).

I saw one man in a hospital bed waiting for radiation. My guess is that he is terminal and taking radiation for pain relief.

I've seen several women who appear younger than myself with no hair. I presume these are going through chemotherapy and radiation.

Many are transporting themselves down and back from radiation. I am thankful for the support of my wife who accompanies me on my trips (except when she has to work).

I am doing quite well. I get tired and try to take a walk daily to counteract this. Other than that, no real issues.
