8 Treatements To Go!!

First, I would like to thank all of you that donated blood in Rob's honor yesterday! We had a great turn-out and it not only showed Rob support it benefited a great cause of helping those in need of blood. Amazing what we can do when we all come together! So, thank you for taking the time and donating your blood!!

Rob is doing amazingly well!!! It is so wonderful to see the "old" Rob return. He and the boys casted a few lines in the pond yesterday and he spent a lot of time outside with us enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend. He has been back to work for one week now, and although he is tired he seems to be handling things well and fitting right back in.

Rob has about 8 treatments of radiation left and he is doing very well with the treatments. It is incredible to me to see his strength and his determination. He has treatment every morning (M-F) at 7:30 and returns home for a quick breakfast of eggs, toast and coffee and then back out the door to work. He has had some heartburn from the radiation and feels tired, but so far...no other adverse effects. Praise God!

Rob had another CT scan last week and the results indicated the tumor continues to shrink in size, which is wonderful news! The Dr. did run the results through tomotherapy radiation again, however will continue with the current treatment plan. The current plan indicates the best results with the least exposure to the healthy tissue and organs. We are on the right track!!

This long journey is finally feeling like it is under control and our lives are returning to some form of normal... and just in time for the Spring to arrive! We have big plans for lots of family time together - the boys are ready to go camping and maybe a trip to the sandy shores of Michigan at some point.

Please continue your prayers for Rob. God is listening and answering them!

Love and Blessings to all of you,

Susie
