My first radiation treatment went well today. I lay still for about twenty minutes while the machine moved around me and music played. They said it will go faster from now on. I have 9 more treatments scheduled over the next two weeks. The doctor is hopeful that she can target the tumor in this more aggressive way and spare me side effects and longer timeline of a wider treatment of the whole pelvis. This is only possible, because of the surgery and my doctor's moving a piece of bowel that was in the way.
They also seem to be arriving at a conclusion about my fevers. The most conservative of my doctors suggested that I would be discharged Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Good news as well!
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:1-4 (New International Version)

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (New Living Translation)
