Dad met with the General Surgeon today that will be doing his surgery Friday to insert the medi-port and the feeding tube. He really liked him alot. Chemo should start on Monday (5/11). 2 chemo drugs will be given to him through the medi-port in the treatment room at the clinic and then he will come home with a pump that will administer a third chemo drug throughout the week. He will then get 2 weeks off and repeat the process again. He will do this 3 times. He will more than likely start radiation treatments immediately after he finishes the 3 rounds of chemo which will be about 9 weeks. He will take radiation treatments for 5 days a week and on one of those days he will have chemo and radiation. He will do this about 6 or 7 weeks. Once all the treatments are finished he will be scanned to see if all the cancer is gone. If not then he will probably have surgery to remove the lymph nodes. We know that we are in for a long haul but Dad is very optimistic and has a positive outlook. We believe that God's name is above cancer and that He is still in the healing business and that is what we are believing for - total healing.
Matthew 4:23
[ Jesus Heals a Great Multitude ] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
