Dan Needs Radiation
It is not what we wanted, but we are thankful to know what we are dealing with. Dr. Anderson, the oncologist, told us today that some of the tests have verified that Dan has a few cancer cells in his right thigh. He praised the surgeon's decision in removing what he did - and making it possible for Dan to be able to walk again.
The surgeon removed 30% of Dan's muscle mass in the upper right thigh. Using a walker, Dan walked 100' today. It took him a few steps to figure out how to place his foot, but he walks well! He also can stand on his own.
Dan will go home this Saturday, January 12. He will have Home Health Care. The staples will come out in about 10 days. The incision has to heal some before radiation can begin. Dan will have daily radiation treatments as an outpatient at HEB Methodist Hospital in Hurst for 4 or 5 weeks -a 20 minute drive from our house when the traffic on 183 is good.
If you wish, you can write us at the e-mail address which you have. Thank you for your prayers. Our Shephard has enough grass in His pasture for us for today. God is good. God is always good.
