Mom's Last Radiation Appointment

Mom had her LAST radiation appointment today (I'll post pictures of this tomorrow.).  YEAH!!!  Lisa (Linda and Don's oldest daughter) and Dad went with mom to this treatment.  Today was her 5th day of radiation.  Now, we wait until November 11th for the next appointment with Oncology.   The schedule looks like this:

November 11th, 2010
7:05AM - Blood Tests

8:15AM - Chest X-ray

12:45PM - Oncology Appointment - Dr. Coleman
(results of the tests performed earlier in the day will be discussed) 

The reason for waiting until November 11th is to give the radiation a chance to shrink the tumors.  Mayo Clinic will also have the medical reports from Duluth with Mom's kidney cancer results from 2007.  They will inform Mom and Dad whether the cancer will respond to chemo during this appointment as well. 

Please, continue to pray for strength in Mom's legs and appetite.   

(Also, thank you to all those who participated on Tuesday's day of prayer and fasting!!  We are so thankful for your love and support.  We are also thankful for the wonderful visits with family and friends who have come to see Mom and Dad.  You bring such joy and encouragement into their day!)
