We are praising God for good PET scan results. The lymphoma is still only in the right forehead/eye area. Thank you for your prayers. We are so relieved it has not spread.
I had my first lead mask fitting and simulation this morning. My doctor determined what angle is best for me to lie, where I should look during the radiation to prevent cornea damage and how well the mask fits – which it is fitting well. We return for another radiation simulation tomorrow. There will be another layer added to the mask and a tungsten eye shield has been ordered.
I had a blood draw this morning to check my counts. My white blood cells are back to normal – yay! Glad to get rid of the face mask when in public areas! My red blood cells, on the other hand, have dropped to 7. This justifies why I’m so exhausted – even eating dinner last night was tiring. (Ridiculous!) They were going to give me a blood transfusion this afternoon, but by the time I had blood drawn (again) they determined I’d have to stay until midnight to get all of the paperwork done and 4-hour
infusion time. So, I’ll rest tonight and have it done tomorrow after my radiation simulation.
We are still on target to start Tuesday, the 13th. Hopefully by then I’ll be strong and rested. Thank you again for your prayers! I’m exhausted physically, but so grateful and happy to know that all of the cancer is still localized.
Happy that you are getting good results. Please know we are always thinking of you and praying for you. Love you!

We are praying so big down here in Roswell. I am a friend of sweet Judith’s from Sunday School and Bible Study and there are so many of us who pray daily for you and your whole family.

Interesting head gear there! I hope you get to keep it when all is said and done. 😛
