We have been enjoying a summer of not worrying about cancer.
It has been nice just relaxing and not worrying about when appointments are.
But appointment time is upon us again.
We will be going to the beach for vacation next week, and then everything kicks into full swing.
It all starts with the Low Iodine Diet- July 19th.
This is when I think we will need your prayers the most.
Because for 3 weeks, Evan will be on a very strict diet of lean, non-seasoned meat, pasta and fresh fruits and vegetables. That doesn't sound bad except that he also can't have any restaurant food, no pre-packaged or canned food, absolutely no dairy and no red food coloring. Along with about a million other things he can't have.
And did I mention I don't cook on a regular basis? So he might very well starve!
But it is my plan to make this as easy on him as possible by making a wide variety of yummy veggies and such. They just might be a little on the bland side with no salt or butter!
But hey, we will make it through, and hopefully we'll both shed a few pounds in the process which would be a good thing.
And then post diet hell, Evan has an ultrasound on August 9th. He then has a shot of Thyrogen on the 10th, another on the 11th and then a radiation dose and scan on Friday the 13th.
And with all of that, I ask that you pray with us for a clean ultrasound and scan. Pray specifically that this is it. NO MORE CANCER PERIOD!
Thank you to everyone that keeps praying for Evan's health even when we don't have much news to share. You all are the reason that I know soon we will be able to hear he is "CANCER FREE".
