Yesterday was my roughest day thus far.  They placed the balloon in the affected area with seven wires sticking out to receive the radiation.  Although I slept through the procedure, it was very painful when I woke.  Pain medication soon became my best friend and helped me sleep through the night.  Today was much better.  We took more CAT Scans today to determine whether the balloon was placed correctly.  Forunately, it was and I had my first radiation treatment this afternoon.  One down......nine to go.  We go in first thing in the morning for another CAT Scan to make sure everything is going well and then hopefully more treatments.  We appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, food and visits.  God has blessed us with many friends and family to encourage us and continue to lift us up during this time.
