Luke wore his UCSF hospital scrubs to his last treatment of radiation today ! It was a good experience all in all. The doctor and nurses were all very friendly and never kept us waiting. Luke's treatments were fast and he had hardly any side-effects, PRAISE GOD. The Grandma's were really wonderful !! Grandma Suzi and Grandma Kay traded off coming over to our house to watch Joe, Grace and Peter. It made it really easy on Luke and I to hurry off to treatments and come right home without having to make any stops. Thanks Grandmas :)
The bad news is....Luke had a follow-up C.T. scan to check the condition of his lungs. His medication was changed to a single anti-fungal medication he has been taking orally at home for two weeks. The C.T revealed the original growths were a bit smaller but there are a few new larger growths. So... the doctors are a little confused right now as to when these new growths occurred. Fungal infections are very dangerous and I'm really praying for God to do another mighty work in Luke's body. I know his power never runs out ! Please pray with us, we are headed to see doctors in San Francisco tomorrow morning.
We watched a documentary on the San Francisco earthquakes last week and I told Mike "We are not going over the bay bridge next time we go to UCSF" and I guess nobody is tomorrow. The news said they had to close it after a cable broke yesterday! Funny.
