Tim's Treatment for the next 6 weeks

Friday was a long and tiring day for us, but at the end we came home with a finalized treatment plan!

Tim will have radiation at UCLA, Monday through Friday, for six weeks beginning April 4 and ending May 13. Tim will also have weekly chemotherapy on Tuesdays.  His first chemo began last Tuesday and will conclude the same week as his radiation.

We are very hopeful that this treatment plan will be very effective in destroying this cancer.  We will keep you posted on the progress.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support! We could not do this withoug you! God Bless!

A  NICE LITTLE STORY:  



Tim had been feeling pretty blue due to the severe pain that he constantly experiences.  Plus, Tuesday's chemo treatment had Tim feeling pretty lousy. 

Then, Katie came home very excited on Friday.  She handed Tim a package from her and her 5th grade classmates.  The package contained a personalized letter for Tim from each child.  They were all so awesome and it helped Tim's spirits immensely.  It was such a nice gesture.  Thank you St. James School, Mrs. Johnson and 5th Graders!  We are so blessed to be part of such wonderful school!

    Tim....Hey buddy hope your feeling better today. Me and Carol are keeping up with your status as best we can thru this Blog and praying for you and your family each and every day until you are cured and back to normal life.
    Carol is also going through treatment for possible cancer cells in her uterus and so I am taking off to drive her to the Dr. on Wednesday where they will be again removing aditional tissue off her uterus for futher testing. So I need both you and her to get better so when we come to Cali next all of us can go eat at Polo Inka.
    Take care and listen to the DR.
    Jim & Carol

  5. Prayer RainbowApril 6, 2011 at 5:53 PM

    Dear Tim and Andrea and girls,
    Tony and I want you to know that we pray for you every day and have asked others to pray for you, too. We decided to send a rainbow of prayers so that with every ounce of chemo and every ray of radiation, the colors of that rainbow will become brighter and give you something pleasant to think about as the treatment brings you that much closer to your Pot of Gold...your family! We know that your treatment leaves you feeling tired and drained, and we hope the Prayer Rainbow will give you the strength you need to do things with your little family. And as those cuckoo cells have run amuck in your body, the prayer rainbow will wash them clean of trouble and you will be better in no time. We ask God to continue to bless you and your family as you walk this rocky road.
    Love and Prayers, Tony and Jeane Endres
