And Treatment Begins...

Dad has gone from waiting and waiting to appointments galore!  This past week had him out on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and next week is booked solid as well.  We met with a radiation oncologist at the Abbotsford Cancer Cancer on Wednesday and he advised that Dad receive radiation to his lung at this time.  Upon consideration, Dad agreed to this course of treatment and is already scheduled to recieve 5 radiation treatments beginning on Tuesday, February 14.  Certainly not the way one would choose to spend Valentine's Day but Dad & Mom will make the best of it.  It all feels very overwhelming right now with so many appointments, some days with more than one.  Please pray that the treatments have the desired results and that Dad experiences little side affects.
