Hello all. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, dad will begin his first treatment today at UNC-Chapel Hill. This is the gamma knife procedure and it is scheduled to begin around 12:30 today. It will take about 2 hours and the focus of this treatment is to kill off the affected tissue on his brain.
We have a couple of prayer requests for today:
1. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and medical staff so that they will know exactly how to conduct this procedure so that it will eliminate the affected tissue.
2. Pray for dad that he will remain strong before, during and after the procedure.
3. Pray for our family so that we can be a strong support system as he begins the treatment process.
4. Pray for ultimate healing for dad and that the cancerous cells will be completely eliminated from his body.
I spoke with dad at length last night and he's in a good frame of mind. He's ready to get started with the treatment process and is ready to do what is necessary to beat back this cancer. Thank you for all of your support and I will update this blog later in the day once the procedure is complete.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know that I may not be at the hospital with you today, but I'm with you in spirit. My prayers are with you, Aunt Brenda, Cassie, & Jon that you will remain strong & focused on this obstable that will be beaten.
I just spoke with Mama & she let me know that everything went according to plan & you were in high spirits but needed to rest this weekend. Even the doctor told you you could go to the ballgame if you wanted to know. I know you will rest & enjoy the game.
Will call & talk to you later.
Love all
