Radiation therapy complete

Howdy family and friends,
Completed 5th and final radiation treatment this am. Each session was the same. Three catscans to check the physics, data, and alignments, then 4 shots of radiation, another catscan, 2 more shots of radiation, another catscan and two more shots of radiation, totalling 40 doses in the five treatment sessions. Good news is that the treatment catscans show that the skull tumor has shrunk, and is in different colors in varying layers caused by damage to the bad boy cells. The Bad news, well there is no bad news! Just some side effects to work through, although I probably will not be able to go on reconnaisance patrols behind enemy lines, since after 40 shots of radiation, I glow in the dark. The radiation oncologist reports that frequently results are not apparent at this stage, so he is encouraged. Next step is a diagnostic MRI in 4 weeks and follow-up visit to the radiation oncologist where he will report the diagnostic MRI reports compared to the original diagnostic catscan. Pray for zero tumor, although anything under 20% of original size is considered successful and unlikely to do further damage.
Thank you for your prayers and support. This would not have happened without my knowing of your prayers and support! You are an awesome support team and I love and appreciate you more than words can possibly say! Next step, laproscopic surgery to remove left kidney on August 14th. Joshua 1-9 Living Bible tells us:

Be Brave and Bold
Banish fear and doubt,
For remember,
The Lord your God
is with you, wherever you may go.
