He started feeling pretty yucky yesterday afternoon. They had said he would feel as though he had the flu. This will last for several days and then he should start to get his energy back. This morning, he feels better than last night, so hopefully he's already on the mend.
It's unbelievable what your body can endure. He can only have close contact with people for short periods of time. Other than that, they must stay six or more feet away. It's hard to comprehend how someone can handle these "poisons" in their own body whenever others shouldn't be near it.
They did his right lobe first and we will return on Thursday, September 27, to do the left. At that point, it becomes somewhat of a waiting game to see the results. Doctors say it takes about 2-3 months to truly see what's been accomplished. We meet with his local oncologist this next week to go over everything. I'm sure, like all doctor's visits, more will be revealed as time goes on.
As always, we can't thank you enough for all the prayers and wonderful words of encouragement. They help us so much to stay focused on hope, rather than fear. I thank God for each and every one of you. I will close today with a quote from Good Morning America's Robin Roberts. She is a celebrity, but more importantly, she is a strong person who is willing to share her experiences with others. I am impressed with her openness and compassion for others. Have a blessed day!
We love you!
"You guys just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you will get where you want to go." That's what Leon Wilcox always said when the road is all up hill. Take it one step at a time. We will keep praying.

Hey, Cuz....guess you know now who this is! (I haven't figured out yet how to leave a comment other than to do it as "Anonymous" and don't have the time to try to figure out how to set up my account.)
ReplyDeleteHeard thru the grapevine that you all were "forced" to go on a little (hunting?) trip (which you've not yet posted), but just wanted to say that THAT impresses me as much as anything. I'm so encouraged that you all continue to ENJOY LIFE as much as possible and to GO and DO as much as possible and that is a lesson we could all learn! Life is indeed so precious and short that we should ALL be going and doing and taking advantage of every opportunity as it presents itself...good for you all for setting the example for others to "not put off". I'm sure Jim doesn't always "feel" like it, but good for him and good for you for not letting it stop you.
Hang in there and you know that you can EM me if you all need ANY thing!
Love ya,
Cuz
