George got his first infusion of Zometa today.

He has noticed a little more improvement in the pain department in his right hip today as well- he is able to go longer without using a "push" of the pain med.

Things to pray for:

• pain continues to subside as tumor shrinks from radiation
• normal energy levels will resume- he's operating at about 60% of his usual self.
• side effects from Zometa won't be severe. he is noticing jaw pain, which they said could happen. it can also cause bone pain (which is so interesting, since it's supposed to help the bones...) and flu-like symptoms (which he is experiencing as well).
