The End of Radiation

Christine and her Dad

The six weeks of radiation are over!!
We are all happy about that! Amazing how your family life adjusts to the routine of therapy and you go along life's path just as before.

Now Gary is back to working full days. The only inconvenience is that he is still not allowed to drive, but he is not lacking willing drivers.

He is feeling well. Eating and sleeping well. Now he is on a no-chemo 4 week vacation. The next doctor's appointment isn't until November 1st. The next MRI is booked for 3 weeks from now. This may not give us a true picture as it takes some time for the radiation and chemo to do their jobs and there may be some swelling present from the radiation.


The only side effect that shows is some hair loss which makes it look like his hair line has receded. His forehead looks sun burnt and a little dry but this has not been a major problem.


We are so thankful for how the treatments have gone. The Lord has been good to us and has wonderfully given Gary continued strength and good health to do what he always did.

We know that much prayer is still needed for continued healing, peace and for patience as we await the results of the radiation and chemotherapy.

Thanks again for all the support, love and care we have been given over these many weeks, but especially for your prayers.

A special thanks to all the drivers who so kindly took at least 3 hours of their time each day to take Gary to the hospital over the last 6 weeks.

The road ahead is unknown and uncertain but that is the same for any and all of us. We must continue to trust in God alone and leave our future in His loving and caring hands.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Joanne for all of us
