Another Year!














Yay! Yet another year to attend the National Cancer Survivor's Day Riverboat Cruise on the Ohio River. We had another great day with our good friends who are also survivors.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy of our day.







































A quick little update- George is feeling pretty good after radiation. Still experiencing some fatigue, but the pain has pretty well subsided. He is on a low-dose pain patch, so that helps.

We have been to Cleveland Clinic again- there was a possibility of getting George on the latest breakthrough in prostate cancer treatment- Provenge. However, we're not sure he's entirely considered a "candidate"- but it's not being completely ruled out. There are other things the doctor there (who is actually the Head of the Prostate Cancer department) would rather see him doing. There is a possible clinical trial- if not that, then a possible secondary hormone treatment, depending on scans being stable. If scans are not stable, then the word chemo has come up.
PRAY FOR STABLE SCANS!!! Oh, heck- pray for GREAT scans!!!!! why limit God?!?!?!
We are sort of in a wait mode right now because we haven't gotten a call back from the doctor yet. WHY doctors do this to you, I will never know. But once he is scheduled for scans, and those are reviewed, then we will know what steps are going to be up for consideration.
So, like I said- PRAY FOR GREAT SCANS!!!
Thank you all for your support and prayers!!
