Thanks for the update.
Prayers for you and yours.
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers today more than ever Jeff. Looking forward to a good news update as your treatment progresses. You are so special...
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to pray for you. I’ve read about the advanced type of radiation you’ll be receiving. The times that we live in are so amazing, with this type of technology available today. Praying for these procedures to be comfortable, painless, and most importantly, successful for you. Stay strong, and God bless.
May the Creator and Healer of the Universe the Lord Jesus Christ watchc over you and the medical staff that takes care of you sir.
Hope all goes well...!!
God bless and keep you.
All sounds very, very encouraging!
Hang in there Buddy. I find out Wed if I have cancer. A little trouble sleeping lately. I wonder why?
God bless you Jeff, and keep you and your family strong and safe.
Prayers going up!
Wonderful that you are doing so well. The radiation treatments should mop up the last of the cancer, and then you can officially be cancer free. How marvelous it will be for you and your wife when that moment comes.
AMEN!!
Well, so far the stereo-tactic radiation treatment has been a bust. When they sucked all the air out of the enclosure and it really held me fast, and put a lot of pressure on my back, the pain was just too great. I have to. Hold still, to within 1/2 mm for over two hours and I barely got through a half hour without starting to tense muscles and squirm a bit vecause ofit.
Yesterday they tried first with hydro-codine...no go. Waited a few hours and tried with fyntinal...also no go. Still too much pain. Today we pull out all the stops and will try with Oxy-cottin.
If that doesn’t work (and at this point, I do not think it will), we will regroup and look at it next year. I have three very small spots in my illium which were there from the start and are growing ver lowly that they want to treat.
That’s okay. The Lord’s Hand is in this, and I accept His will, whatever it is.
May the good Lord Bless you and Keep you old FRiend.....
I’ve never taken anything but my wife swears Oxycontin is the real deal. Good luck.
Oh Jeff. OK, prayers a workable treatment plan is managed quickly for you. Thanks for keeping us posted. You were in my thoughts most of the time yesterday.
Thank you amom. No joy on the radiation treatment today either...too much pain. Will meet with the Drs tomorrow and chart a course. At this point I do not think the good Lord wants me to have the radiation treatment this year.
Understood Jeff. It will be as it should be in it’s time. You are such a trooper. Please give my best to Gail too. I will continue to pray from here and check in for updates.
You have surely been a miracle from God Jeff. MD Anderson is leading the world on cancer care. Thank you for the good update. Prayers for the complete eradication of the bad stuff. Hugs.
