Day 10 of 20 we are almost there....

And exhaustion has set in at our home! I am ready for Spring Break. How about you? :)

Radiation day #1

Today starts Shawn's first day of radiation. He will be getting 20 treatments. He will go 5 days a week for 4 weeks. This treatment is kind of scary for us because we are not sure of all the side effects. They tell us he could have this and that, or hardly any side effects. So this will be a wait and see kind of approach. We are praying for minimal effects. The oncology doctor told him it could take him months to regain his energy. Radiation will give you fatigue as well. He is ready to get his energizer bunny energy back. If any of you know him well he is a man that never stops. He is always up and going,so this has been very tasking on him. So please just remember to say a little prayer for him over this next month, and that radiation goes very well for him.

Praise you JESUS! No more cancer!

After our good news this morning!

So today was the day that we have been waiting for. We went for Shawn's follow up doctors appointment this morning. They went over all the post chemo testing and found there was no more cancer. Praise the LORD! The prayers and chemo did the job. He still has to undergo radiation for 4 weeks just to make sure the tumor is completely destroyed and no longer there. Kind of like an insurance plan. We are so happy today! Today March 11, 2011 is a wonderful day! Give special hugs and love to the ones you love today! Soak it up, it is a special gift.

Post Chemo Testing

Last Thursday Shawn went in for his post chemo CT scan, and in the morning, Tuesday the 8th, he is going in for his PET scan. The doctors are going to make sure there are no "Hot Spots". We are believing there is no cancer in Jesus name! We find out the results of everything on Friday the 11th. Please keep us in your prayers. We know it is because of believers praying that things have went as well as they have. Shawn's cell count was really low on Thursday, so they put him on an antibiotic just to make sure he will not get an infection. We are ready to be done with this, and put this behind us. We really could use a beach, warm weather, and the sound of the water right now. LOL! Couldn't we all? :)
