Dear family friends, and prayer warriors,
Please forgive the manner of making this more a newsletter than a personal communication, but God has blessed us with so many who truly care that I would be typing all day if I contatcted each of you personally.
First, thank you so much to those of you who have contacted us with well wishes and your promise of support. You are so precious to us. (That includes our friends on stunthanger!)
Now, the plan: we start Thursday with a PET scan to make sure there is no cancer in any organs.
Second, we start a regimen Friday of an infusion a month of a med that will strengthen the bones.
And third, we start radiation again soon. We're not sure how many treatments yet, but the doc all but promised they would greatly reduce the intense pain Donna is experiencing.
He is confident we can expect to concquer this, and came into the room well informed and prepared, including challenging Donna to eat more because she has lost weight. (She just isn't hungry because of the pain and nothing sounds good.)
During our married life, it has been amazing how God continues to link us up with Christian doctors who openly express a faith in Christ, and Dr. Brown is no exception. That does so much for our own faith!
I will be more than glad to answer any questions I can, whether by email or phone or over coffee, so feel free. However, that being said, for the next several weeks or maybe even months, our time is not our own, so scheduling might just be a problem. I'll try my best, though.
Thank you all for your love and support, God is in control.
Many blessings,
Will & Donna
