Today is the day! Wendy is raring back to pitch STRIKE 3 @ breast cancer! She will head in this afternoon for the "mock run" of her impending 33 intensive radiation treatments! On May 13, 2016, we hope to hear the magic words: "STEEEEERRRRIIIIIIIKKKKKKKE 3! Cancer's OUT!"
Tomorrow afternoon, Wendy will (officially) begin her 20-minute per day radiation treatments on her left breast. Due to the location of her tumor and its proximity to her heart and lungs, her radiation oncologist has recommended this intensity-modulated form of radiation therapy- it allows them to more accurately deliver higher doses of radiation to the concerning tissue without as much negative effect on her surrounding tissues (in this case, her heart and lung). This therapy is a bit more precise, but does take a bit longer!
Please be in prayer for Wendy today and in the coming weeks! Daily trips to St. Peters from Lake St. Louis over the next 6 1/2 weeks will get old quickly! Additionally, please pray for NO SIDE EFFECTS from radiation!!! Those of particular concern will be tiredness, fatigue, and skin breakdown in the area of treatment (including redness, sensitivity, swelling, dryness, peeling, blistering or burning!). Additionally, we pray that she remains healthy and for NO DELAY'S IN TREATMENT! Please also pray for safety each day on the road for Wendy and family accompanying her!
Thank you for joining me in prayer for Team Wendy-Woo! As we enter this final stage of treatment, 274 days after the news that this fight would begin, I am filled with HOPE. The Easter season reminded me that Jesus is victorious. He is the victor over death. He is the victor over Satan. He is the victor over cancer. He is on His throne and Wendy is MORE than a conqueror! The BEST IS YET TO COME!
Blessings!! Kindra
