Time has gone so quickly. The break between chemo & RT was over. The family rejoiced for the break. Jed loved to have daddy roughing around and going out to the park. Reg experimented his cooking skill after watching Master Chef. Anita took the joy to let go some household chores for Reg and was able to attend some social events. The family really praised God to be able to take a break between treatments.
To prepare for radiotherapy is quite different. The Chan household has a different routine, especially for Reg. Reg has to get up very early for the appointment was 8am at the hospital. So instead of having a Mothers Day dinner outside, the family decided it was wise to stay home, but they had a relaxing time in Manly for the afternoon. Jed was so tired and was sound asleep by 7pm. REg and Anita was disciplined to go to bed early, preparing for the early rise.
Although with some apprehension, REg didn't sleep too well, but he managed to get up. The morning traffic was a very smooth ride and after a short wait, the treatment went ahead and all was done in less than an hour. Reg was stuck in traffic with return trip. He was more tired from getting up early than the treatment itself. He was happy that no more extra drugs to take, and the treatment seemed simple enough that he only needed to lie down and do nothing. Anita was glad that REg returned home safely.
The family continues to rely on God in this final stage, even though the worst is over. They know God is their source of healing and He alone gives live. His ever presence is their stength in every step of their way. The family asks for God to sustain Reg the ability to sleep well and getting up early. They do not know when Reg's energy will start to deplete due to treatment, but they pray for wisdom in the balance of activities and rest in this time for Reg.
