Proton Therapy Begins

The next stage of Tzadok's treatment begins tomorrow. For everyone who has been following this blog, please start praying for Tzadok that treatment goes well and that this tumor is killed with no side effects. The process will last for 30 treatments, which will conclude near the end of Dec. We have not been excited about this step of treatment for obvious reasons, but it seems that all of our decisions have led us here to this moment. The doctors can give no guarantees about what the future holds, and all they even talk about comes from percentage charts, but we serve one that will not forsake us or abandon us. We don't feel that we have been led here to be abandoned, so we know that we will make it out whole on the other side, but there is an air of unease that makes us nervous not just for the next 30 treatments but for the years to come for Tzadok. We know that we can't protect Tzadok from everything, but we hope that we have made the best decisions for his future. It is our earnest prayer that he lives to see his children's children upon his knee. On a lighter note, it has been great having everyone under one roof again. We have cooked, cleaned, unpacked, and also started sharing again as a family. In other words, all of the boys have colds because we share everything in our house. This has caused us a little worry because we wanted Tzadok to be at 100% before treatment began, but the doctor seems to think it will be okay. So we will trust that he knows what he is talking about. We're all tired and a little worse for the wear but we feel blessed, which is a testimony to all of you and all the prayers and support you have given us. As I've stated before, we wouldn't have been able to walk this out together without all of your aid in our time of trouble. We will update routinely about Tzadok and how well everything is going, but please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for the next few months.
