An Update from Martha...

Novel completed his first week of treatments on Friday, March 6th. He has 6 more weeks to go or 30 more treatments. Everything went well and we praise the Lord for that. So far no reaction!! Novel is resting better at night now and we thank the Lord for letting him get a better nights rest. We are praying for a good Gleason Score at the end of his treatments. Also pray for Novel's traveling safety, he has 55 plus miles that he has to travel each day to get back and forth to his treatments. Thank you for all of your prayers and concern. God is good!

Wait upon the LORD; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalms 27:14

Treatment begins...

Novel went to the Radiotherapy center this past Friday and got his "tatoos" (marks), one on each side and one on his "belly". This prepared him for the treatments which began today. The doctor said that he will have a total of 35 treatments. The treatments require traveling to Decatur, Georgia every day except Saturday and Sunday.

Novel's energy level is low and he tires easily so he has been laying down some during the day which he is not normally accustomed to doing. But, the rest helps him feel better and so he naps, sometimes under protest!

Please continue to keep Novel and Martha in your prayers. Psalms 29:11, "The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace."
