Monday, February 5, 2007 – Treatment Number 23.
We arrived back at Durham, NC after lunch and in time for my 23rd treatment. The radiation treatment schedules were backed-up because they take X-rays on Monday to make sure that the beams of radiation are directed at the correct spots on the body. We had to wait about an hour before my treatment could begin.
I was scheduled to be in a 90 minute focus group discussion for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Duke Medical Center about the impact of cancer. It was scheduled to start at 6 PM, and it was located about 30 minutes from the where I was receiving treatment. Tonight, of all nights, everyone wanted to cook at the same time. I was able to “gobble” down my supper and get there before the meeting started. I hope the group of cancer patients provided the NCI with enough insight to help other patients who will have prostate cancer in the future.

Hey Colonel,
Greetings to you at Duke and best wishes for a quick recovery. I look forward to hearing of the great things God is doing in your life because I have been praying for you and Patsy.
It has been pretty crazy for my family the last few days since the loss of my nephew, Rocky. We are all leaning on the strong arms of God to help us through and He has been right in the midst of us. We still desire prayers to help us and appreciate everyone for remembering us in prayer.
Hunter and the ROTC kids are really missing you and I think will have alot of funny stories for you. Hurry back as fast as you can they all say......
I'm happy you are juicing again and hope you will get your strength from the juice right away. I know Patsy is taking good care of you and will make sure you do everything healthy. Keep looking up to God for your strength because He is the source above all other.
May God bless you richly and keep you in His endless peace.
Your Friend,
Terrie Hamer
