First, I need to thank everyone for your great support - by prayer, calls, cards, etc. It has been and continues to be a great source of comfort and strength.
Many of you are wondering what Proton Beam Radiation is all about, how it works and why we chose it over other methods of treatment. I'll try to cover that as we go along.
But for now, let me just say that everything is going well. One of the benefits of proton treatment are very few side effects. Patients can pretty much go on with their daily activities. Many go golfing, sight-seeing, hiking, skiing, boating, swimming, and local people come for their treatment and then head back to work.
I have my treatment by 8:15 every morning, then come back for breakfast and then head to the gym. I then head out for the rest of the day. Tuesday evenings there is a patient sponsored potluck, Wednesday evenings there is a group meeting with food, and Thursday evening there is restuarant night.
God bless each of you.

Hi Fred. Thanks for letting me in on the blog. I'm glad to hear things are going well. Aside from why you are there and the treatment you are receiving, it almost sounds like a vacation.
Hey there Friedrich...
The blog is a great idea, it will be another way for all of us to stay abreast of what's going on with you at LLU. I'll have to show it to the girls, and I'm sure Kathe will enjoy posting comments. All the people at the surgery centers that I work at have asked about you, and are praying for your health and healing.
Can you post photos? That would be cool...
Your golf clubs should be there in a day or so... :)

Hi Fred,
Thanks for sharing. We continue to pray for your well-being, and that you will have many opportunities to use this experience to comfort, bless and encourage others for His glory.
God's peace,
Golf clubs? Nice. No excuses this summer. Hope everything continues on schedule. We miss you.
Wow! It's almost like you've never left home. Kinda, sorta. Anyways, thanks for keeping in touch. Prayers are always be lifted up in your behalf. All you need to do now is find a choir to conduct . . . :)

I can't believe I'm actually pictured on the internet! I love your blog, it's so cool... I hope you have fun at potluck tomorrow. I miss eating your Special-K loaf, baked potatoes and green beans. Yum!
Now, this is from Alaina:
I really want you to come back home soon. I really miss your Special-K loaf, baked potatoes and green beans, too. I love you... bye!
This is from Kathe:
Hi, Dad, this is Kathe. I really miss you, and I was wondering if you could send us some souvenirs from California (even though we've already been there). I'm doing fine, having fun, and generally feeling on top of the world. Bye!
love the photos. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures from your adventures since we left to come home. Can you send a pic of the new digs? The girls would love to see it...
Have a happy and peaceful Sabbath, sweets...
