Mapped out and ready to go for radiation

Well, I look like a map on my right side. They laid me out today for the radiation treatments to start at 7:45 on Monday and continue for 5 & 3/5th weeks, M-F. They will be at Southwest General Ireland Cancer Center. Got to meet the staff and the personnel who will be doing the radiation. I wondered how they were going to get me in the same position each time. When I was there Monday they blew up a sort of pillow around my head, arms and shoulders. Today when I went in there was a mold with my name on it. Sure enough, it fit me like a glove. So, as I said, we will begin Monday. I am looking positively towards the outcome and ask for prayer for me specifically for killing the cancer cells, maintaining strength, little or no scarring damage to my lungs and a good testimony to the staff and other patients. I ask for your prayers for Patti as she is running herself ragged between me and all my needs plus now her mother who is acting more like a 90 year old than a 75 year old. Pray for my mother as she is dealing with helping her friend, George Carey, as the cancer has spread in his body and things don't look good. Pray also for our friends Mary and Jerry Buckholtz as Jerry has now gone on hospice for his cancer. He is a fine, Christian man who gave me a lot of support when he found out that I had cancer. Mary is a small woman and it is tough looking out for Jerry as he is a lot bigger than her. I thank you all for your letters, gifts, cards and phone calls. I really feel the friendship, concern and prayers every day. If you have someone who is in need of prayer, let me and Patti know. God does listen to prayer. I know.
