Treatment begins on Monday 7-25-11

Hi everyone. We found out yesterday that Melanie's treatment will begin this Monday (7-25-11). The appointment is at 10:00am and will last several hours. We will find out after the treatment how she responds, which will help us to know better what challenges and needs we'll be facing over the next few weeks. We know from the documentation provided preparing us for what's ahead that the side effects are severe (and it's a pretty long list of side effects too). We're not sure how long the side effects will last after treatment.

We will be posting needs (on the "Lotsa" site) soon covering meals, childcare, and the need for someone to come to our home to help Melanie through those times that I won't be able to stay home and take care of her due to work.

Please pray that Melanie responds well to the treatment, that the treatments are effective in destroying the cancer, and that the side effects are as minimul/gentle as possible. Please pray for strength for both of us. Please pray for our kids also.

Thank you. We love you.
