30 March - Radiation Starts Tomorrow

Ok, we had our appointments and everything is on track. Sarah starts radiation treatment tomorrow and we're still planning for her to get chemo on Thursday. What a week...
The goal of the radiation is to prevent dangerous bleeding and to hit the "pause button" in terms of tumor growth. The doc said that a dose to wipe out the tumors would have to be much higher and was not an option. Sarah still doesn't feel too hot, but definitely better than before the bile duct stent was put in. I'm going to drive her to chemo treatment.
Ben and Sam are having fun in school so far this week after being out for Spring Break for so long. And they love having Uncle Thomas, Aunt Kerry as well as baby cousin Jane in town, and also of course the grandparents! No shortage of attention there.

I know you must be exhausted tonight, Sarah. You have really had a rough 48 hours. Thinking of you and praying for you constantly. God is with you! Every moment.
