Yesterday was a mixed day for Cathy. Today was a better day. Cathy was awake most of the day and was able to drink more protein drinks. We have moved to protein drinks because her digestive system is irritated by the radiation. Liquids seem to go better. We are thankful that nausea was less today too. We both did take a nice Sunday afternoon nap to recharge some. It was nice to be able to relax and chat a bit together.
It is good to have mom and Al here to help. It is nice not to have to think about the lawn being mowed and to have someone else keep Cathy company for a change. I have asked them to stay for the next week and they have graciously agreed.
Tomorrow will be a big day with two radiation treatments, an IV fluid session and a drive to Boston for our consultation on Tuesday. We will stay overnight at a hotel so that Tuesday is not too strenuous for Cathy. I’ll do my best to navigate around as many bumps as possible.
Prayer requests:
- Thanks for a good Sunday
- Continued pain and nausea control
- Continue weight stability and strength

Cathy and Dan,
Prayers for you for Monday as it sounds like you'll have a taxing day and then driving to Boston. Getting the appointment moved up is a wonderful blessing. Praying for strength for Tuesday as well.

Best of luck today with the treatments and the long drive...just keep under the speed limit.
Hope all goes well.
Dan and Cathy,
Have been following your journey and wish you well on Tuesday. May I sugggest that you get the book "The Juice Master" - Keeping it Simple by Jason Vale, you can get on line from Amazon. This is the best way to get your minerals and vitimans straight into the digestive system in liquid natural form. Raw fruit and veg are the best. God Bless, Sheila K
I hope the treatments good well today , and you have a safe comfortable ride to Boston. Erin Langley
Dan and Cathy,
