treatment is still going well. my incision has closed up and i will be starting accu-boost on friday. elisabeth and i finished our "kids against cancer" meetings last nite and it was a little sad. our group hopes to get together occasionally to see how everyone is doing. thank you emily, joanne and connie for taking care of elisabeth. thanks in advance tina for watching her tomorrow. i really appreciate it and she loves it. i think i have about 3 more weeks of radiation, then the big stuff is over. looking forward to that. thanks for all your prayers, jennifer

finished my 2nd week of radiation and so , so good. i was a little tired but i think it was more due to a cold than the treatment. tomorrow is the making strides walk at the beach. i'm looking forward to it. thanks to everyone who donated and those that are coming to walk with me. thanks too to you ladies that stayed with elisabeth this week, emily, joanne, connie and tina. you are all a blessing to me and my family. my incision has pretty much stopped draining (finally!) and i just keep a band-aid on it. my prayer request is that i continue to rejoice in what god has done for me through all this. sometimes when i listen to others who may not have such a good prognosis or who are having a harder time, i feel as if i have no business being positive about any of this. i know it is the enemy trying to steal god's glory and i do try to keep it lifted in prayer but if you all could keep that in your prayers, it would really help. thanks, jennifer

i went to rad. today and after waiting for an hour with some patients, they sent us home with no treatment. the machine had shut down. i was told this could happen occasionally. the equipment is very sensitive and shuts down if it detects the slightest problem. hopefully i can get going again tomorrow. they said it should be ready in the morning but to call before i come. not much else to report. hope has a cold that i think she shared with us, that's about the only thing she is good at sharing! :) i feel like i have a lot to keep up with so i try to write all my appointments down, even those that happen every week. i did meet with my surgeon today. my incision is still draining a little. he said it is doing fine though and looks good. thanks to emily who watched elisabeth today while i went and sat the radiation office. it was a big help knowing she was having fun with abby and jacob. elisabeth and i reall enjoyed the "kids against cancer" meeting last week and are ;looking forward to going again tomorrow night. love you all, jennifer
