The Next Two Weeks

I finally had a moment this morning to sit down and chat with my sister (My children and I have been a bit sick this week so I stayed away as I didn't want to infect Nix).

She eventually met with her oncologist yesterday. The course of radiation on the breast finished up yesterday and they have measured and made the mask for the next lot of radiation on her brain. They will start this course of radiation treatment on Monday - high dosage for two weeks. Nikki has been told that this radiation will cause her to lose her hair permanently.

Please pray and believe with us that the radiation would target all of the cancer sites in the brain and that, seeing she is such a rare individual, she would prove to be the exception to the rule and keep her hair!

Thank you all so much for your many calls, emails, SMS'es etc. You are an amazing encouragement to Nikki, Adrian and all the family. Nikki absolutely loves her friends and staying in contact is very important to her, but sometimes it can be a bit difficult for her to reply for a number of reasons.

Psalm 121:

I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber,
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you -
the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm -
He will watch over your life,
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
