Starting Radiation

Hi All,

Just a quick update to to let you know about Mom starting radiation therapy. She saw multiple doctors on Monday, and started the process. They made the mask she needs to wear during treatment. This upcoming Thursday will be her first day. She will start the day with another CT scan of her chest, abdomen, and pelvis to rule out any further metastasis. Then she has her first dose whole-brain radiation treatment. She’ll be receiving those for ten sessions. After the radiation therapy, the doctors will re-evaluate her progress. She will most likely start IV Chemo the week after radiation ends. We all appreciate your prayers and messages so much, and we know Mom is in God’s hands. Please continue to pray on Thursday – praying for minimal side-effects from the CT contrast, NO metastasis in other organs, physical and mental strength though treatment, and treatment effectiveness. We’re praying that God guide the doctors and treatment team to the best decisions, and for the radiation to eradicate the tumors in her brain. Thank you again for the great support, Mom has been uplifted by your words and thoughts.

Here are some songs Mom has been listening to for encouragement.
