only 3 treatments to go!

We've noticed a pattern. Some of Bob's worst headaches have been on a Saturday. (It is probably a result of five days of radiation in a row.) This past Saturday was no exception. However, Sunday was a great day. After church and lunch he spent the rest of the afternoon outside. He mowed his lawn and was enjoying being outside and on the lawn tractor so much that he mowed Tim & Jess's lawn too. Afterward, Tim and Jay spread some fertilizer so all of the guys were able to enjoy Poppies tractor. Then we watched the rest of the race at Talladega and had dinner with Tim, Jess & the kids. Yesterday was a good day also. Bob had an appointment in the morning with his medical oncologist. All is going well. In the afternoon he had radiation and met with the radiation oncologist who said that all is going well and that he will be done with treatment this Friday. Hallelujah! I have promised to take him out to dinner wherever he wants to go. He thinks prime rib will be his choice! Next week he will have a healing week (no chemo or radiation) before he starts another round of chemo. So we're hoping for great weather next weekend because we are planning to go on our annual Fall color tour and trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes with Tim, Jess, Jordan & Jayden. Shelly may be able to join us this year too! We continue to pray for God to remove all traces of cancer and for complete healing. We hope that you will continue to keep Bob in your prayers as well. Many thanks for your help and support. This would have been so much harder without you!
