Entering the final days (of treatment - not life :)

Just wanted to write a quick update and ask for increased prayer support. I now only have 6 treatments left, and am quite happy about that, but getting VERY fatigued, spacey, and a bit nauseous. Starting this morning the radiation treatments are a bit more intense and focused - plus a couple added angles and being implemented. We knew ahead of time that in the last week or two they would narrow the beam to be a bit more precise, but missed the fact that it would be more intense. Since I've already been feeling like my energy was going downhill fast in the last week, this added info was unwelcome. But for the best in the long-run of course.

Thank-you all again for your support and please keep the prayers coming for our family, as I am now pretty much no help to Jen for the next couple weeks. You are all great prayer warriors and I am forever indebted to you.

- Nick

    Go figure that it would get more intense at the start of Lent.

    Prayers, Nick. Hang in there. I added you last month on our Carmelite prayer list, and will do so again this month.
