Tues.

This morning I went walking again with Tracy and it was a
little harder today than it has been. I’m just feeling fatigued from the radiation. I
met with Dr. Clark and we talked about how I’m doing with all the radiation
side effects. It’s getting harder, but I just have to hang in there. The doctor
told me that all the side effects will peak around 10-12 days after my final
radiation treatment and then I’ll start to feel better. Not to complain, but my
chest feels like a really bad sunburn, my tastes buds don’t exist at all, and
it’s extremely difficult to swallow anything. Not a lot of fun, but I’m hoping
that all this is killing the cancer for good!
My sweet friend Becky, from my college days, dropped by this
afternoon to say hi and see how I’m doing. It was so awesome to reconnect with
her after so many years. She too has had some very challenging experiences in
her life and we both agreed that it has been our faith that has gotten us
through the trials and made us better people because of it. Life is much more precious
now and we acknowledge the Lord’s blessings in our lives and the power of
prayer as our friends and family have rallied around us in the tough times.
