We are still on schedule to start the radiation and chemotherapy treatments tomorrow. We still do not have the chemotherapy pill in our possession, but have been assured that they are sending it overnight and we will have it for tomorrow treatments to begin. I will be taking Tom to his treatment tomorrow. After that, we have a very dear friend who has offered to come and get Tom every day. We are going to try that for a while and see how that works. Right now Tom's body is trying to fight this horrible disease all by itself. It has him all tired out and each day is a struggle. We are hopeful that the treatments will assist him in this fight. Please continue to pray that the treatments do their job!
Let me thank you all again for everything that you have done for all of us. In my previous note, I forgot to mention how much all of the cards mean to us. We have received so many lovely cards from all of you letting us know that you are praying for us. Some of Tom's favorites were some special hand made ones that he received from his great nieces, Siena, Angela,Ava and Tessa. They are right next to his chair where he can look at them during the day. Thank you girls, we know that they were made with much love! That is not to say that he does not enjoy all of the cards that he receives, but it is hard to beat those hand made ones!
I will update the blog again tomorrow after he has received his first treatment and let everyone know how he did. His spirit continues to be strong and we are counting on the "fighting Irish" in him to make sure that it stays that way.
Love to all,
Tom & Lynne
