I am 1/3 of the way through my radiation treatment. The hardest part of this phase is getting up VERY early, no eating or drinking be fore my treatment, and then waking up from the anesthesia. Sometimes I am really cranky but other times I am just as happy as can be! Mommy gets a bit tired too...she gets up earlier than me and I am sure she goes to sleep much later in the evening than I do as well. She ROCKS!!
Please pray for my body to handle the radiation well. So far it is ok but the effects accumulate. Please, please remember my stem cell transplant and begin praying for protection, comfort and strength for that "fight." If things continue on schedule I could be in there the latter part of the first week of October. Thank you for your prayers!!!

Note from Mommy to all
Here is what the Lord gave me. May He bless you as He blessed me.
2 Corinthians 1:8-11
For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;
indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves in order that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,
you also joining in helping us through your prayers, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed upon us through the prayers of many.
Thank you for your prayers....He on whom we have set our hope is mighty to answer in ways that passes our understanding for HIS purposes!!! Praise Jesus!!!

Praise the Lord it is Friday and I am pretty much done for now. I am headed down to Childrens...(hum...something new...hee -hee) anyway, we are getting the results of the MIBG scan that was done this week and doing the radiation simulation today. I can't wait for Saturday morning!! Why? you say...because I can eat breakfast at the normal time just like everyone else!!!!! All week I had to fast before the tests. UGH!! But I am thankful it is over and that God helped me through it ALL!!
Pray for us as we hear the results....pray that the scan shows NO cancer anywhere!!!! Pray that there aren't ANY stray cancer cells in my body. Ask God for wisdom for the doctors treating me to know the best course to remission!!
Pray for mommy and daddy...ya'll know my daddy is "tuff as nails" but his heart hurts for me too...remember him. More later!
