Quick update

Hi there...I know it's been a while, but I wanted to give everyone a quick update on the happenings of Nate's journey. Most importantly, his treatment is OVER! That's right....he had his very last radiation session on Friday..praise God! On the flip side, he is feeling..well...terrible. He has an awful cough and a very sore esophagus and is extremely worn out. This is particularly frustrating since he is free and clear of cancer. The doctors said the radiation side effects could become worse this week before they get better...please pray that recovery will be swift.

On Friday, Nate goes in to surgery to get his port removed...hurray! This is so encouraging because this means that no one thinks he will be needing that port for anything anytime soon. Please pray that the surgery goes perfectly and that recovery is again, swift.

Follow-up appointments with all of his doctors will be going on in the next weeks and months and he will be rescanned probably in February.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement...Nate will be giving one of his much more entertaining updates in a few days. :)

  1. Feel better Nate! Glad that things are going well... Thinking of you and the whole Heide clan this holiday season, and sending you wishes for a "Feliz Navidad" from Mexico! (It was 86 degrees here today... Tough to get your Christmas on with that!) xoxoxo Sarah
