Kirky



Kirk has just completed treatment #23.  He is halfway done!  You need a total of 45 treatments to graduate from the program.  He is feeling a bit fatigued these days as well.  He will tell you if you ask him how he feels with his prostrate being "fried" each day.  He now has the tell-tale marks on his hips--sort of looks like a sun tan about the size of a baseball on each hip.  I'd love to say that he is getting more comfortable with treatment, but I'd be lying to you.  Does he get "used" to receiving a balloon and filling it with water?  NO.....NO....and NO!  He is lucky that he for the most part is feeling great.  We have met a lot of other guys that have numerous other problems.  We feel so blessed.  I drove home and arrived on Saturday.  It's nice to be home, but after not being home for almost a month....well, you can all imagine.

I'm glad that he is half way done. He is in our prayers. It looks like the rest of you are at least enjoying yourselves in California!
