I could be wrong about the numbers of times Terri has had radiation. Maybe she
said she has 19 to go and has completed 38 times. I do know she said she does
it every day.

Vickie,
Please pass along our thoughts and prayers to Terri. It' sounds like her
radiation is more intensive than Rob’s, but we aren’t really sure
how long he’ll be going through treatment after the first round. Rob also
wears one of those masks. Both his mouth and nose are covered, but he has no
problem breathing.
He says a lot of it is where they’re concentrating the dose.

Well, there you go. When I spoke with Terri Kositzke earlier today, and she
said she was doing radiation every day, so I’m sure that rob has been doing it
much more often than what I can keep up with and so I’m glad that Marcia
clarified that information. So, I think that the rest of you should know that
although Terri Kositzke was told when they removed the brain tumor she had,
that more than likely the tumor was not cancerous, when they ran it through the
lab, the results came back positive for cancer. She said they also removed
part of the bone around the tumor, and while they believe they got it all, they
are performing radiation treatments. Seems like she said she has had 19 and
there’s 38 more to go. She told me what occurs when she goes through the
treatments and that it doesn’t hurt, and that it takes about 10 minutes for
each treatment. So what a pain, having to go to the hospital every day, for
just about ahalf hour at most. She said that one time when they put the mask
on her head they only opened up one nostril for her to breathe out of. She
said they cover her mouth, so she was glad she was a person who can breathe out
of her nose. So anyway, just thought I’d let you all know. She’s also still
doing physical therapy on her left foot and says she still doesn’t have feeling
in parts of her foot. So anyway, we had a great conversation and I’d like to
request that people pray for Terri in her recovery process. Oh, by the way,
she said that Larry Posont told her that mark martin had colon cancer, so I
clarified the diagnosis of prostrate cancer and updated her on both mark’s and
Rob’s condition. She sends her concerns and prayers along to both mark and Rob.

Rob’s had eight radiation treatments and he’ll start chemo a week from today,
unless they change the schedule again, smile.

Wow! Praise the Lord. So now I guess we can call you grossly unremarkable.
smile. I guess if it wasn’t grossly unremarkable, there would be remarks about
what was wrong. So, yay! God is good and time is on your side bro. Not such
good news for our friend Rob, though. He’s had three radiation treatments and
his first chemo therapy today from what Marcia told me this weekend. Take care
and know that I’m really glad to hear this grossly unremarkable condition.

I got the results of my ct scan and chest x-ray. Other than the fact that I
have a cyst on my left kidney, everything looks good internally. Whoever put
this thing together has a unique perspective I must say. It reads something
like this: heart grossly unremarkable, lungs grossly unremarkable, kidneys
grossly unremarkable, liver grossly unremarkable and so on. You get the drift.
My prostate is enlarged but I guess there shouldn’t be any real surprise with
that. It seems to me that with my innards pretty much being regarded as
grossly umremarkable, it almost seems as though the technicians are
disappointed that they didn’t find a bunch of tumors and cancer and the like.
So what I am wondering from you brains out there, is what might the opposite of
grossly unremarkable be? The next thing now on the agenda for me is a second
opinion from a doctor at Beaumont Hospital scheduled for June 19. If he offers
the same options as I now have, those being prostate removal or radiation, then
I will need to decide between the two doctors for treatment. As much as I
don’t like the idea of having my prostate taken out, I don’t think I will do
radiation. Thanks to all of you who have posted your kind thoughts prayers and
good wishes, and as well to all your prayers and good wishes from those of you
who have communicated personally as well. I will keep you all tuned in to as
we move forward from this point.
Mark Martin, 73.
