Radiation balloon is out, she dreaded the removal, but did not even know when it was pulled out. Got home yesterday and is resting today. You will never know how much I appreciated your prayers. Sitting in the cancer treatment center really shocked me at just how widespread this devil is...

Margaret is officially 1/2 though the radiation treatments. Had some infection in drainage tube incision. Got started on another antibiotic. While at surgeon's office she had the drainage tube and bottle removed. YEA!!!! One less hole and chances of more infections. The radiation has caused...

Update: Margaret had her first radiation treatment this morning. It went well and much less to it than expected. She commented this is not bad at all, nothing like I had dreaded. I attribute that to the prayers that went before the Father and He answered. Thanks to all for praying, I will try...

Prayers answered, Got the report in this am, the surgeon removed another 3 cm cancer, and CLEARED the margins. We had the CAT scan Thurs and are now set to start the 5 days of radiation Monday. We go twice a day 9 am and 3 pm, get a CAT scan each time to insure proper placement of balloon...

Very good pattern Keith, Congratulations on a job well done. Jim

Just speaking as an old collector, I prefer the pins. Screws just seem out of place. JMHO Jim

Quick update, wife is in severe pain from second surgery, she has two tubes hanging out, one a drain, other a straw like tube that connect to the radiation balloon. We still have to wait for further pathology to be sure all traces of cancer are gone. The surgeon never saw any or felt any...

Well, I am a crack head of sorts, so if your customer will not take it, I will. Just give me a shout out. Jim

Update On the Love of My Life, for 46 years now. She seems to be OK, but started draining yellow fluid and having fever in left breast Thurs. We contacted Dr. who prescribed antibiotics and said infection would not deter surgery. Please add to prayer that the infection is NOT staph. My...

More prayers needed, as stated before, the surgeon did not get all the margins clean. The second surgery is this coming Tuesday. Please pray that she get ALL clean margins. The balloon will be inserted when the second surgery is done, BUT, if the second pathology shows any active cancer cells...

Really some great work on the knife, sheath is good as well. Congratulations, Jim

I thought I heard a glock going off instead of the normal fireworks, hope you had a great fourth. BTW: Tear open that drive and salvage the rare earth magnets. So strong, they are hard to pry off a piece of flat steel with your fingers. Jim

Update On the Love of My Life, for 46 years now. We got the final pathology report and we had good news and some bad. The good news is the cancer had NOT spread to the lymph nodes, they were clean. The surgeon missed some cancer and Margaret now has to have another surgery to clean up the...

No wonder it is so tall, you have a sack full of Viagra on the workshop table.:eek:;)

Dang it Robert, you are not only knocking them out of the park, you are knocking them out. Did the wife lock you in the shop? :D Great Job, Loving them, Jim

Well now, who says an old dog can't learn a new trick, thanks for sharing. My glue bill just went down.2thumbs Jim

Bruce, Why the wicking of the super glue? Will it pull in enough to get a good bond. I guess I am asking because I would have loaded it up and clamped it hard enough to push excess out. Thanks, Jim

I am as well, she rested ALL night without pain medication! Is resting now, but alert and talking. Last surgery she had, the intubation really hurt her throat and she could not talk for 3 weeks after surgery without Cloroseptic. I had posted request for prayers here and Facebook, plus...

Reported at 4pm: All clear on the frozen samples, have to wait on final pathology to be sure, but so far, everything looked as good as it could at this time. Thanks for praying. Reported at 9:05pm: We are home now, she is a little loony from the pain medicine. Overall doing very well. Now...

Surgery is tomorrow, guys and gals, I would appreciate some real life stories of how your woman, Mother, sister or wife handled the surgery and the good and the bad. I am just lost thinking of all the options and consequences. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts, Jim
