A Decision Made

Justin requested that we look into beginning the radiation. He is tired of being around the house, waiting, waiting, waiting. He does not want to go on like this. At least the radiation will be something to DO, instead of nothing.

I called the nurse and she is making the arrangements to begin the appointments, testing and preliminaries for the radiation. It will begin after Christmas, 5 days a week for 5 or 6 weeks.

Pray for us. Humanly speaking, there is no way for us to do this. The hospital is 120 miles away, so daily trips are not practical. My car is not as roadworthy as it once was and needs some work and tires. Even though many of the medical treatments will be covered, there is still food, gas, as place to stay while there, and keeping up with the rent and bills on this end. I would love to be with him through the first round, which will mean no income. My bosses have assured me that I can take a leave of absence for this, and I can keep my insurance going, although I will have to pay the premiums. Realistically, we can't do it. But God is a God that works out problems like this. Pray that He will guide and provide for all that Justin needs.

My family, friends and church family are praying for absolute and complete healing for Justin from this tumor. Above all, this would be our first prayer. Thanks.
