My dad just finished up a 30 day radiation treatment on his esophagus and a 15 day radiation treatment on his hip to treat tumors related to his stage 4 lung cancer. At Baptist Hospital, their tradition is that when a patient finishes up his/her radiation treatment, they get to ring a gong, which sits in the lobby. Because my dad had separate treatments, he got to ring it twice. Though he has lost a lot of weight, he’s still got a pretty good backhand. Now if he could only hit his a backhand that good in tennis! Thank you to all who have been praying for my dad. He still has one more chemo treatment (that will make 5 total) and then they will do a scan to see how effective the chemo and radiation has been. We are praying for a good report, and that whatever the results, God may be glorified in it.
