Both Tom Rogers and John Buckley were both both at the First Friday at the Pour House. Tom was at the Mayo Clinic on Friday morning and started his treatments. He received injections into each side of his abdomin. They are designed to inhibit the amount of testosterone in his body which will help to slow the growth of the cancer cells. After about five treatments he will undergo surgery. John Buckley’s son started his first course of chemo. The test showed that the cancer did not metastasize. He will receive several about 5-7 courses of Chemo and then undergo surgery. He did have a reaction to the first Chemo treatment and had to be hospitalized but is now doing well. I am sure John and his wife will be going through some sleepless evenings as the chemo treatment progress. Please keep both families in our prayers and offer any assistance that we can. |
