Prayer Request - Update

Here is a prayer request update on Bethany's Mother.

Thanks for praying for us - we genuinely appreciate it. We met with Dr Schulz today-- the radiology oncologist. After the tumor board met on Feb 3, it was pretty well decided that Marsha should have the radiation and that it was possible to do it since so many years had elapsed since the last radiation treatment 14 yrs ago. The tumor board, we learned today, is made up of 5 radiology oncologists, 3 medical oncologists and various other drs in the area. They have discussed Marsha's case twice now and even though it has been a rather winding path we are getting things done for Marsha's well-being.
Marsha will go in next Tuesday for the "mapping" and whatever prep work that needs to be done. She can't start the actual treatments until the end of March because the chemo that she is on now is radiation sensitive so it needs some time to dissipate out of her body. (Simple explanation).
She will have about 5 or 5 and a half weeks - every day - treatment - half hour long. Then she will have another week and a half to two weeks of a boost dose that is more concentrated on the sites they suspect with the "dirty" margins. So the total is about 7 weeks. We are hoping she will be finished before Elsa's wedding.
The treatments will be done in such a way to protect her heart and lungs as much as possible. Dr Schulz was pleasant and is overseeing Marsha's treatments personally so we are grateful.
Thanks again for praying for us. If you have any questions, please ask.
