Week Two Treatment Update

Friday (7-5-13) will mark the end of week two of my radiation treatments (8 down- 30 to go). The routine of going every day is getting old already. I’m asking God to help me be a blessing when I’m there and not focus on the mundane routine.

I found out that the x-ray machine shoots 18 beams at 9 different angles in 18 different patterns as it rotates around my body. Each beam is between 3 and 12 seconds in length (yes I timed them).

A bit of a bummer yesterday; experienced one of the effects of the radiation- loose stools; Imodium took care of it. But I was disappointed; doing better today. Keep trusting Jesus as we walk out this journey. I’m glad God’s my GPS, because I sure don’t know where this journey is going.

I had some good family time this week with my sister and her family from Colorado and my brother and his family from Green Bay. 

 

Thanks for caring and praying. Keep praying for complete healing and protection from any and all side effects of the treatment.
