Gary Kantola Update

Hello all. We are well in PA. We have been blessed to have Cheri come for this week to our home. She has cooked (8) soups in all, made apple pie, ice cream, driven to Fox Chase and got her Dad an Ipod. This gadget is quite handy enduring the treatment process. He can do his email and enjoy sermons and music with one handy hand held gadget.

Gary has now completed 14 treatments. He is scheduled for chemo again on Tuesday. During examination Thursday the doctor said the front of his tongue is (beautifully normaly) pink. The tumor is receding on the side of his tongue like a glacier.

Thank you for your prayers and concern. We have heard from the physicians the couple of weeks ahead may be challenging due to the effects of treatment. We will persevere with the Lord as our strength. We covet you prayers as his tongue is painful as he works to include table food..strained as it is. He has gained 5 pounds this week.

Darline is due to come to visit in a week and a half. We are looking forward to her visit.

Be blessed and have a great week.
Tricia and Gary Kantola
