More appointments!
We just got back from Cancer Care Associates in Stillwater, where we met with Dr. Young, the Radiation Oncologist we met in OKC a few weeks ago. I was fitted for a mask (it has markings to make sure my head is in the right place during the radiation). I will be having radiation 5 x per week (Monday-Friday) for 4 weeks, starting next Tuesday, at 3:45 pm. I was told that my hair will fall out in about 2 weeks after starting the radiation - woohoo..........should be an interesting sight! Dr. Young spoke with Dr. Canfield (the Oncologist) while we were there and Dr. Canfield is planning on the chemo being once a week, but we don't have a schedule for that yet.
My biggest scheduling conflict now is that I'm having to find a ride home from Ponca City each day in order to be at radiation by 3:45 pm. Both of my parents have graciously agreed to some days already - thank you! And, many others have offered - I just have to get a plan put in place.
One of the best pieces of news today.............we have a plan for some treatment and Dr. Young said we'd work around the radiation so that we can go on our annual Eureka Springs trip in 3 weeks! Yippee!!!!!
See you soon!

Hi guys, Kelcey helped me set up a Google account so I could blog you. We will be praying for you, especially on Tues. Pray all goes perfect. Richard said we would be glad to come pick you up from work and get you to your treatment. If he can help just let us know. Anything we can do we will, just call. We love you guys. Stay strong and remember God is bigger than any cancer.
Allison, I'm praying for you and sending positive thoughts your way. You're definitely a trooper! Please let me know if there's anything that I can do from here (at this moment it feels like I live in Timbuktu). Hugs, Cindy
Dear Allison & Family,
I am praying for you and trusting for a full recovery. We will love you without hair as much as we love you with hair. :) You will always be beautiful. "Just a speed bump in the road." Love, Melissa
