Hi O Family!
I wasn't going to do this until tomorrow or Tuesday, but I see so many regulars on the blog now it seemed like a good time.
Art is about to enter the final stage of his cancer treatment. In my last post/update I told you all that his head, where the tumor was, is clean. Cancer gone. The right lung, where there was a mass is now a crater (the doctor's own words). The cancer is gone from the lung.
Art is about to enter the final stage of his treatment.
Last week Art had a complete body MRI. We got the results this past Friday and it turns out Art is an excellent candidate for radiation treatments. On Tuesday, coming up, he will begin his treatments. He'll have 25 of them and they each take about 2 minutes. The radiologist uses a more direct method than most. Last week he made a special patient table formed to Art's body so the radiation only goes to the area of his liver where the cancer is. I did some research and 25 treatment seems to be the normal. Art has responded to everything his doctor's have recommended so I have to trust the radiation will be successful.
I can't help but feel certain that between the wonderful team of doctors Art has and your prayers is the reason Art will have nothing but a complete and total recovery.
Thanks again for all the support, candles and prayers.
Love The GOSALS
