Today we celebrated my mothers 74th birthday. We had it over at my niece Jocelyn's home. It was a nice get together. The kids had fun playing with Frankie and Bailey's toys. The boys all liked the army stuff that Frankie has. The morning service at church had a good message on creationism by Buddy Davis of the Creation Museum. He also did a concert tonight at church. He has a great voice and some really good original songs that he has written. He has a real talent for music and artwork.
My sister Sherry (Cheryl to some of you) told us some bad news today. Doctor Gliga, the surgeon who performed my first biopsy that revealed that I had cancer, has been diagnosed with lung cancer and it has spread to his brain. I was telling it to people at church tonight and found out that a friend of a church member had been scheduled for surgery last Wednesday. They got a call from the doctors office telling her the surgery had been canceled. She called Thursday and the office told her the doctor had retired. They announced it on Friday to the staff at Southwest General about his condition. He was very nice to me and showed a genuine concern about my cancer. He took the time to explain a lot to me after the surgery and the diagnosis. He seemed very genuine in his concern. He said to Patti and I when we were at his office that he would give his life that day to find the cure for cancer. He did not want the credit, only the cure. Now cancer will take his life. Please pray for the doctor and his family. I do not know his spiritual condition, but he has a caring spirit and it shows. All the people who I have talked to and have known him say the same thing, he cares for his patients.
I go back tomorrow to start week four of the radiation. We will call Dr. Koon, my oncologists this week to start setting it up for the Interferon to start. I will also have the stitches removed tomorrow. My prayer requests for this week is that the radiation will do what it is suppose to and the Interferon is only a maintenance procedure. That we can get things rolling on setting up the Interferon. That I can work through the fatigue moments and keep going with my life. And finally that you pray for Dr. Gliga and his family and that he may have the peace in his time of trial and that he may know the Lord God and find comfort with him.
