Dec. 2nd

Hello Friends,

I pray everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Kolbe had a little scare when the urgent care told us to go to the emergency room because of his breathing distress. He ended up testing positive for rsv but doctor said he is doing well and felt comfortable sending us home. We are on our way home now. Im very tired and not feeling the greatest. Hopefully we can get some rest tonight.

Tomorrow morning, I have an oncology appointment at Hoag to go over Mayo clinic results and MRI in depth.

On the 1st, I went to City of Hope. Things went quickly. I had a CT scan and they heated up this plastic mesh that cooled and molded around my head. Then we watched a video about general radiation treatments, side effects and information. We were able to ask questions and then they scheduled the radiation appointments. I will have radiation on 12/10, 12/11, 12/12 and possibly on 12/15 and 12/16. Most common side effects are fatigue and headaches. Praying I get mild side effects and not the more severe ones. We were told that side effects can build up and you feel them 4-6 weeks later. Please pray my side effects are mild and don’t have any severe side effects.

Thank you all for your prayers. Im very tired so I will post more later.

God Bless,

Ashley Dennis
