Hey friends!
Today, I had the first round of chemotherapy and second radiation treatment. We checked in at 8:45am for blood work, medical oncology consult with Dr. Robbins, then IVs and injections for 4.5 hours. Followed by radiation, which was much shorter and tolerable. Then, radiation oncologist consult. Dr. Hochman decided to only radiate the left side of my neck and face.
We discovered a few ministry opportunities today. Details to follow..
A patient brought everyone Klondike ice cream bars!
Lisa and I celebrated my appetite by getting sushi!
Please pray for a good friend, Miranda who is pregnant with twins. She has been hospitalized until the babies are born.
Thank you for everything and press on friends, Rich
Rich & Lisa: You both are in our thoughts and prayers..
Richard,
God bless you brother. I will pray for you and your family. I wasn’t aware of what you are going through until Lorena told me. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
Cary
Rich,
Thought of you when I read this verse : James 1:12 – Blessed is the man who perserves under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. Amen!
All my best, Shirley Byrd
