We're now officially half-way through my radiation treatments as of last Friday! I'm still doing amazingly well, with no side effects (not even dry skin). I was able to do a major garage sale this past weekend, with the help of Ron, my sister Kathy, and three of her grandkids (Jessie, Kelsey, and T.J.). The kids are lots of fun, so we made a real party out of it!
Thank you for your continued prayers as we make the 50 mile drive each day. Ron has gone with me most of the time to keep me company. He's been great through this, as he always is. We appreciate everyone's encouragement and concern so much!
"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised!"

Making progress....
Just a quick update - Thursday, June 12, is the one-third mark for my
radiation treatments! Yay - I know I can do this now! As of yet, the only side
effect has been a slight "sunburn" at the end of last week, which healed
over the weekend. There will probably be some down days physically in the
next few weeks, but right now I'm rejoicing at being back to normal! I woke
up this morning feeling like I could really accomplish something for the first
time since my first biopsy two months ago.
Thank you all for the continued cards and notes, acts of kindness, and gifts.
It's such a blessing that you keep on encouraging us even though the initial
concern is over! We're enjoying our quiet summer days at home. My
treatments are at 8:45 in the morning so the rest of the day is
uninteruppted. We go to work a couple of days a week. The final hurdle of
our teacher education project (after four years) is approval by the State
Board of Education, which meets Wednesday, June 11. Then, hopefully,
we'll have real, live students this fall! And yet again, "I will bless the Lord at
all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth!"
We love you all. May God bless you - Cindy and Ron
