We have decided to create a blog, to help inform everyone on the status of Scott and this stinky ole brain tumor. Please feel free to pass the blog address on, we need as many prayers as possible. We believe that there is a huge power in prayer! i think that with God on our side, we can beat this tumor!

Ringing the BELL!

Well, as most of you may know, yesterday was the last day of radiation treatments for Scott!

A tradition at MD Anderson when you complete your treatments, you get to ring a bell. When Scott first heard about this bell, he was anxious to ring it! So the time finally came yesterday for him to ring the bell! I went with him and snapped a few shots...What a great day-such an accomplishment!

Also by looking at the picture, what little hair Scott had- is now gone! We completely shaved it on Thursday night. It was looking pretty patchy! Of coarse, we had to get a picture of him with his twin...

One More Week of Radiation!!

Today will be the end of week 5 of radiation! We are so excited that there is only one more week left!

Scott has been doing really well! He has started losing his hair, which you can see in the picture below... but don;t worry, it hasn't phased him one bit. We were joking last night about his head, he now has "a good side" he said he is going to start telling people to look at his "good side". The left side of his head is where most of the hair loss is, and of coarse that is also where his scar is, so he has a lot going on on that side...
Other than the hair loss, Scott has been pretty fatigued lately, but nothing a nap cant help. He also started back at work on Monday. He has been working 1/2 days. So he gets up bright and early around 4:30 and heads into work and by about 10 am he is ready for a nap! As soon as he gets home I feed him lunch, send him to bed, and then wake him up in time for his radiation treatment. We are so thankful for Scott's co-workers, boss, and the whole company. They have been so understanding and generous throughout this entire process! He is blessed to work for such a great group!

We have been pretty busy these last few weekends, so it looks like this weekend we finally get to relax. Even though, Scott has been trying to round up a little fishing time with his dad and brother- maybe he will get to do that!

Thats all for now. Keep on praying! After we finish with radiation and the first round of Chemo, Scott will have an MRI to check everything out. It looks like his MRI is scheduled for September 12. Lets pray that his tumor has become inactive so that we can "rest easy" for a few months!

Love to all -
Candace, Scott, and Tyler-man!
