Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask you all quickly for prayer. Karen, as you well know, has not really complained once during this whole process but last night her throat was so sore she was having a lot of difficulty even swallowing sips of water. She even sent out an email this morning asking for prayer for her throat which means she is truly concerned. Please pray that as we inch closer to the end of the radiation that her throat gets no worse and is able to heal quickly.

I spoke to the Radiation Oncologist today because Karen asked if we could postpone today's throat treatment. He said that at this point one more treatment will make no difference to her discomfort and that it is better that we just get it done and out of the way so she can heal. He will be providing some stronger pain medication today which he said should help.

Thank you all for your continued prayers on her behalf.

Dave
