Dear friends and family, A new update on Chris...After confering with several doctors, it was decided to step up our plans...He is continuing on his hormone pills for a month. On Tues. took his hormone shot in Parsons. (This was a $3000 pill so must be pretty strong) He will continue getting these shots every 3 or 4 months for 1-2 years. Radiation will begin around the 4th of Feb. at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa. We were very inpresses with the Doctors down there as the radiologist is willing to try new treatment schedules if we feel it will help, that's why we're going with Feb. 4 instead of March 4. These will last 8 wks with 5 of general radiation on the pelvic area and 3 of beam radiation on the prostate. Chemo will follow but not sure at this time what the schudule will be. Since it's still cold, we will probably stay in a room close by. May move RV down when weather improves. We'll play that as we go. We ARE planning on attending the SUPER BOWL in Tampa before starting these treatments as we have 2 wait 2 wks after shot to begin. Will do our best to keep you all up dated...Love and prayers to all and please continue your prayers for us.
Colleen
