Last week we experienced emotional and spiritual turmoil, but thank God for leading us through the valley of the shadow of death. We sought a second opinion from the Stanford Thoracic oncologist Dr. Wakelee on Monday, who also advised us to go with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). With her confirmation, Gwohann started radiation this Tuesday. After four days of radiation, Gwohann's headache has gone away. In addition, Dr. Dormady also gave us a good CT scan report, showing that the eight chemo treatments that he has received have been effective! Gwohann will undergo 18 more WBRT sessions, and will resume chemo treatments in mid Nov. Gwohann is not allowed to drive until one month after radiation treatment, hence, I will be his Uber driver until mid Dec. I am expecting a fat tip (in kisses) from him :-)
In times like this we are reminded once again how fortunate we are to have a wonderful community and a great medical team. Our kids came home to help, and our friends are supporting us by prayers and kind deeds. Most important, we are blessed to have a loving God who is there all the time!
Thank God and thank you all!
Gwohann & Jacqueline
