Randy Rogers & Radiation


Janeen and John made the most of their Thanksgiving and cooked up a feast for the two of them to enjoy. Though it wasn’t the ideal situation they enjoyed one another’s company and the food they indulged in.

For their anniversary on Friday, November 27th, John and Janeen celebrated by attending one of their favorites—a Randy Rogers concert! They had good seats and John said it was one of the best concerts he had ever seen. The drummer’s girlfriend just happened to be sitting by them during the concert and took interest in their obvious liking to the band. After the concert she took them back to meet the drummer and gave them a free t-shirts. It was definitely a well deserved night to remember for both John and Janeen.

Janeen’s radiation has begun, and she has now successfully completed 3 rounds of the 30 treatments for Proton Radiation at MD Anderson Proton Outpatient facility. She has to be sedated before each hour long treatment, and as expected, Janeen has experienced much fatigue after each round. However, she has no other side effects thus far. Therapy is mixed in throughout the day as well.

For now John and Janeen’s days speed by, wrapping up each evening with a nice home cooked meal prepared by John. Janeen’s daily schedule doesn’t allow her to be the night owl she is known to be, as her bedtime now naturally calls for her around 8pm.

This weekend Janeen and John have much to look forward too. Jadeyn, Jolee, Bill, Julie, Trey, and Tara (Trey’s girlfriend) are coming to visit until Sunday. Of course Janeen is counting down the days!!!

Please continue to post comments to Janeen, for John reads them to her each time they are received. Your thoughts and prayers continue to move mountains during this process. Janeen and her family could not be more appreciative of all the love and support she has received.

  3. Wow! John cooking? What a wonderful special treat. If I had to rely on Troy to make dinner for me each night, my meals would consist of cereal, tacos and skittles!! You are so lucky to have each other. I love the pic, Janeen; your smile is infectious! That's great that your days are flying by...you'll be home in no time! Much Love to you both! Shannon

  10. Hi Janeen. Thinking of you and your family. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Excited for you about your family visiting this weekend. Jayden has been over to play with Avery a few times. Her spirits always seem high. She's so spunky, just like you...God love you both!!! I've enjoyed visiting with John's mom as well. I know your whole family has been such a blessing for you during this challenging time. Keep up your strength and all the hard work you're doing. You are such an encouragement!!! I can't wait for you all to return home and to be able to get back to business as usual.
