Treatment begins

We were told that this particular cancer does not seem to respond to chemo. The suggested plan was 25 treatments of radiation followed by surgery to remove the tumor. Aaron came home with the tattooed markings and drawn lines on his leg and announced that he would never get a tattoo! It's good to hear that he still has his sense of humor! (And I secretly thanked God for the "no tattoo" thing.) So the treatments began, 5 days a week for 5 weeks, taking us through mid-December. All those treatments and there were no side effects other than some slight redness at the sight of the tumor. What a blessing compared to the ravaging effects of chemo!
