Well, Tony completed his 7th chemo treatment on Thursday 8/20 and is still handling it pretty well. We met with his doctor before his treatment and he verified that the bone scan that Tony had done a couple of weeks ago showed everything was stable! Even the areas that radiation was done on had shown signs of diminishing scar tissue on the bone. So that is great news! We thank God for that!
Tony's PSA level is going up a little.... It went from 79 to 83. He has about 2-3 more chemo treatments scheduled, and then we will see what other options will be available to get this PSA level down if it doesn't start coming down.
Tony is still having problems with his legs swelling and they cause him pain especially when he stands or walks for a long period of time. Please keep remembering him in your prayers! He still gets up on stage and sings, he has not missed a singing date yet.
We have been asked by several if there is a fund that is set up for Tony and there is. If anyone would like to contribute to Tony's medical fund, there is an account set up at area Regions Bank for this. You will need the following information to make a donation: THE TONY DYKES FUND, 350 DIAMOND DR. CHICKAMAUGA, GA 30707.
We appreciate all the prayers for Tony, our family and our group as we continue to travel and sing God's praises and uplift HIS name! We give HIM the glory in everything we do!
Psalm 96:7-8 -- "Give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto HIS name."
