Hello Everyone!

Well- quick update.... George is currently undergoing radiation therapy for his hip area again. The most recent bone scan did show a good bit of progression and after a couple MRI's it was determined he would need to do some radiation. He also started getting some increased pain, so he was quite anxious to get started.

He is on week 2 of a 3-4 week course. He goes in once a day to get "zapped". We are actually pretty happy about the form of radiation treatment he is getting this time- it is called tomotherapy. It is supposed to be the cutting edge of radiation- it is very precise, and can be used to retreat areas (which is what his situation called for).

After this treatment, he will also do a round for his leg- there is a spot on his femur that needs attention.

Overall, however- he feels pretty good! He is noticing less discomfort since starting the radiation, so that is encouraging.

All you can do is just keep trucking along, dealing with things as they pop up, and just hope for the best!! His attitude is great!!

Keep him in your prayers- and me, too.
