Next Big Chemo, Then Radiotherapy Starts
Hi all,
Thanks for all the comments and emails. Moshe loves them and checks at least 3 times a day to see if messages were left for him. It’s great so please keep them coming.
Tomorrow (Monday) Moshe has his next heavy chemo session. He will be in for 3 or 4 days depending on how he is doing and we pray that he will have as few bad side effects as he has had during the last 3 heavy sessions.
After this week’s chemo we enter the 2nd phase of his treatment, i.e. radiotherapy. This will consist of 5 or 6 weeks of 5 - 10 minute sessions 5 days a week.
The radiotherapy is very different to the chemo and can have various side effects so please can we all continue to pray that Moshe will suffer no bad side effects in or after any of his future treatments, and that he may be granted a complete recovery, a refuah sheleima from Hashem.
Please remember to look at the Mitzvah programmes we have launched in the merit of a refuah sheleima for our dear Moshe. Please look at the links at the top right hand side of this page and click on the links below “Mitzvah Projects”.
A reminder, Moshe’s Hebrew name is Moshe Yair Ben Baila Tanya.
Thanks again for the incredible comfort you all continue to shower us with.
Love,
The Altschulers

Hi Moishe-poishe!
I am the only one who really knows why you need the celery. It is to put the stalks in your fathers nose and the leaves in your ears so his snoring won’t keep you awake at night!!! Hope you will be ok for rugby on Saturday night!
take care
