It Just Doesn't End
Well, today the radiation kicked me pretty hard and it is only the second day. I do not know if I am over tired or it is the radiation. I was so tired when I got home that I slept for two hours and have been fighting fatigue the whole day. We went to Amish Country with Heather, Caleb and Micah. We left at noon and got back about 7 tonight. I pushed it because that is just what I think I have to do. At 4:15 I got a call on my cell phone from the Dermatologists office. Two of the three biopsies from last week were negative. The other tested positive for Basil Cell Cancer. I am now scheduled for my fourth surgery on Wednesday, January 16th, the day I was suppose to get the stitches out. Now they will cut all of the healed area out to about double the size I was told. Another 14 days of not being able to sleep on my back or sit comfortably in a chair. They will also do the biopsy on my right thumbnail and now, the black line has appeared in my left one also. Oh well, I told Patti that anything they found I would have them cut it out first and ask questions later. I haven't had to ask them, they just do it. I did have a great day with my wife, daughter and grandsons. I am also getting ready to build maple bunk beds for my grandsons Tyler and Joshua. I build Heather and Steve's beds when they were small and look forward to doing it again for Steve's kids and building a set for here at the house when the boys stay over. I have asked God to give me grace for one day at a time and patience for the long road ahead towards being cured.

I would like you to pray for my brother, Everett who has lymphoma. He is having trouble with some more lumps.Radiation does make one very tired. It is good that the treatment are short timewise. I did very well until I was about half through then it began to take its toll on me I am thankful that I am ok now. I was thankful that the church was so caring and praying for me through the ordeal. Sincerely, Delia Jenkins
