A lovely rainy day. Pouring rain, actually.
Ball game will be played tomorrow, first pitch at 7:45PM.
It was great to go to church, visit with a lot of folks, and worship God with them.
Then I got all sorts of stuff done around the house and such.
Darn near normal for an unseasonably cool July Sunday.
Back at it tomorrow.
Blessings to all!
A journal, begun in anticipation of the adventures I will have as I begin yet another (the third) skirmish with cancer. Serving as a place where friends and family may read updates on my physical, mental and spiritual condition. A spot of encouragement and laughter. This blog is surrendered to God, that He may be glorified in it. If you want to leave a comment, scroll down to where it says, 'Join this Site'.

The Treatment Plan
For the cancer I've got there is a specific treatment plan. I do this and the odds are 90% I will never see this cancer again. Here's what will take place:
Radiation: There will be approximately 33 radiation treatments aimed at my pelvic area. They began July 5 and will conclude at approximately August 18th.
Reaction: First third: No issues. Second third: Discomfort. Final third: Increasing discomfort, culminating in 'brutal'.
Chemotherapy: There will be two courses of treatment. The first was started on July 5. The second will begin August 1st.
Reaction: First course produced nasty mouth sores, an overall sludgey feeling and 'chemo brain'. At least I know what to expect for the second course, and can make some plans.
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
