Back to School

Dear Family and Friends:

Cody has been doing very well. Back to his education (at home) and trying to make life as normal as possible.

Cody went to radiology today for his final simulation. They want him to start radiation treatments tomorrow (Thursday)...so he will start radiation 12/1. For the next 6 weeks, he will have radiation 5 days a week, each day at 1:00 and chemo once a week.

He was a disappointed that the radiologist said he had to have a treatment on his birthday. Their compromise was that he could come early on that day so he would have the rest of the day to recover and enjoy. Way back in August he already knew what he wanted to do for his birthday..he wanted to take a couple of friends and cousins to the opening day of Narnia (the movie). So our plan is to go early...right after school lets out. Then after the movie, come home, have a little pizza and cake. He had this planned for months.

Here we go on the next phase of being freed from cancer. Please pray that Cody will go through this phase as seamless as the surgery, he will have an appetite, the radiation will kill the cancer cells quickly and permanently and the radiation and chemo will leave him unscathed.

Thank you and Blessings,
