We started and ended the day with medical procedures. We completed the 14th of 19 radiation treatments early in the morning and upper body CT scans at the end of the day. Travel is still hard for Cathy as the bumps bother and she seems to be sensitive to motion. We seem to have the pain in more control and it is changing. The pain from the uterus seems to be significantly reduced but the radiation has made the digestive system somewhat painful. That should go away after radiation is done.
Today my Mom and Al came to visit. They drove the 1100 miles in two days and arrived at about 2pm. We were impressed! Their help will give me a break and will allow me to spend more time at work. The good news is that they also brought peaches and it sounds like there is a good chance that I’ll see a pie or two!

Dan & Cathy,
I hope that we've figured out this blogging thing.... we're somewhat technically challenged!
Anyway, Dan - don't eat all of the peach pie! Cathy - eat all you can!
You both are in our thoughts and prayers continually. Keep posting and we'll keep praying!
Tom is envious of the peach pie, but not the medical treatments of course... stay strong! we're praying. -Ben & Amy
Dan and Cathy,
I just read through your blog posts and I have already prayed for you. I also have written your name in a place where I will see it regularly and be reminded to pray for you.
Thankfully, we are "not our own",

"That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, (b) but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him."
Cathy and Dan,
Praying the doctors have some good news for you today (Wed) about the the results of the CT scan. Know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers daily and are loved.
Cathy, keep eating as many as those guilt free carbs as you can!

Hoping for positive CT results today.
...at least your mom was not welcomed to Maine with a speeding ticket...:)
Dan & Cathy:
I have just read your blog. I will pray for you daily. I pray that you will be comforted and sustained by the unfailing love of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. I pray that, in whatever state you find your emotions, you will be constantly reminded that you are in the all powerful hands of GOD himself.
"yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for GOD is with me, his rod and his staff, they comfort me"
Who can say it better than David himself?
