Radiation Treatment Plan

I think that getting ready for school is more work for the parents than it is the student. Orientation and Registration are done on different nights and for also separately for the different schools. Our eldest started at Ferris State University yesterday also.....let the school fun begin!

Tom had his Infusion today. This typically takes a couple of hours along with meeting with his oncologist here in GR and a blood draw. The nurse practitioner was concerned about Tom's calcium but the other blood work results she did not mention. I guess the plethora of prescriptions he received must be doing the trick. Both doctors at U of M and here in GR are concerned about Tom's 23 pound weight loss. He said "this the most effective weight-loss program I've been on" I keep telling him that nobody want his program :)

Dr. Worden's office called today and said that the Tumor Board recommends Radiation treatment on his liver. They have ordered an MRI of the liver for a closer look at the tumor. Tom should be able to have all of this done here at the U of M Cancer Center in Wyoming and we do not have to make multiple trips to AA. Tom will be going back to see Dr. Forstner who will performed his last radiation treatment.

Thanks for the continued support that our family is given. People continue to be so generous to us. We appreciate the gift cards & the words of encouragement. To be truthful this weekend was hard for me. Reality has reared its ugly head and though I know that we will have these ups and downs, it's hard to watch my husband change from the go get'er to the man who has to push himself to get off the couch. Our life has been put into slow motion since Tom has been back on the Chemo. At church this week it was hard for me not to let my tears fall because I wasn't sure if they would stop. However, I know that I was meant to hear the message and thanked God that I made it to church to hear about GRACE. I resolve to keep on "talking" to Him who has the power & grace to do His will!
