I had the last of my initial radiation and chemo treatments last week, so I got through the first six weeks OK, without any major side effects -- thanks to the abundance of prayers that have been poured out for me, which is very humbling. Next stop is surgery to remove the tumor, which is now scheduled for August 23. I will be in the hospital for 4-7 days, then at home for a while. Then back into much stronger chemo for about four months. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!"

“I just finished my third week of radiation and chemo; another three weeks to go, after which they will do surgery (probably in early August) to remove the tumor (and find out for sure whether the cancer has spread). After the surgery, I go back into (much stronger) chemo for at least four months.
So far, I have not experienced any of the side effects they warned me about, but this is the week when the side effects normally appear, so I just wait and watch. Cheers, Rich”
