Update and prayer request, please.

Melodie and I have trips planned for mid-April (CSA), end of May (hog hunt) and mid-June. We have been trying to schedule any treatments in such a way so we can make our trips. I think we have figured it out...at least tentatively.

We are going ahead with liver surgery on 25JAN as originally scheduled. About 10-ish days later, we'll go in for a PET scan to see what's what. About 10-ish days after that, we'll go in for the initial radiation exam where I get fitted out with the 'mask' I'll have to wear for radiation treatments on my neck. The following week, we'll begin the actual radiation treatments. They are still scheduled for 7-1/2 weeks (every day--yuck).

Assuming everything goes according to plan, we'll be done around the first week in March, which gives me around 2-1/2 to 3 weeks to recover before we head to Arkansas for CSA. I'll probably still be less than 100% but I should be on the up-swing. Our other trips should find me in fine shape.

Word of caution...everything depends on how I react to surgery, how quickly I recover and how I respond to radiation. I am confident (and stubborn) but, in any case, both Melodie and I are satisfied with our decision.

As always, thank you all so much for the support and encouragement we've enjoyed all through this ordeal.

Prayers continuing for you both! Thanks for keeping us updated.

If any of your trips have you headed through Indy, you are welcome to stop and rest here. We’ll have food, drink, a comfy couch, some boring conversations and a back yard for the pup to run in!

Take care of yourself, you two!
