Here we go!

Well, Friday has been a blur of activity. The short story is that we have an appointment for December 6th, 1:00 pm at the Stanford Cyberknife Center. The doctor will determine if Jeanne is a good candidate for the treatment. If she is, (at this point the doctor is 85% sure she is) and they can get her in soon, we will stay until the procedure is complete. This may involve staying the entire week. Or, it may require us to go back a later date.

While at Stanford, we will stay at the SLAC House (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center). This is an on-Campus, reasonably-priced guest house which is within walking distance of the Center.

The outpouring of generosity has been tremendous. We have had two different folks offer their cars to drive; another person offered a free plane fare; and yet another ended up buying our tickets with his abundance of frequent flyer miles! Not to overlook the generous financial assistance that has been offered! As well, our health insurance plan has agreed to cover most of the expenses for the procedure, therefore reducing any large financial burden. We are truly blessed!!!!!

So, please pray:
• For smooth sailing to and from Stanford;
• The lesions have not grown;
• Jeanne is able to receive the treatment, soon,
• The treatment is effective,
• Recovery is minimal; and,
• Safety for our children while we are absent.

Thank you,
Pat
