I had another bad doctors appt last Friday with the radiation oncologist. He feels that I need to have craniospinal radiation, which is radiation to both the brain and spinal cord. Since I've already had radiation to these areas, the side effects could be worse during treatment. But the choice is to either do the treatment with the possible side effects or wait until the disease starts causing these same side effects.
It's a really hard decision to make, but I feel like I need to do something to fight back. So I'll be starting the radiation on Thursday. I would appreciate prayers for a complete healing, but I also put together a little drawing with all the nasty side effects the doctor said could happen. If you feel like it, please pick one area and pray that area stays healthy and be protected from the radiation. Thank you!
Dear Tiffany, you are one brave soul. Though I have not met you yet, I admire your strength and your humor. I am praying for complete healing; one that will keep all of the nasty side affects at bay. Melissa
ReplyDeleteTiffany, I am praying for you as you go through the next stages of this journey. I admire your bravery and desire to continue fighting! It is encouraging and amazing to see how God has carried you through this journey and I pray that you continue to feel his strength and presence. I pray that your body will be strong and you will not feel the adverse side effects of the treatment. I pray that tomorrow when you go in for the next steps you will feel full of peace. Thank you for sharing with us.
