15 March 2012


Gentlefolk,

Just a few words to confirm that the radiation treatment of the former brain tumor is complete.  And likewise the first round of the chemo is complete as well.  I now have to face 30 days without either, and hopefully never have the radiation again.  The chemo will start up again, and continue for another 6 months, but not on a daily basis, and since it's a capsule with water, is not a problem so long as I continue able to tolerate the dosage.

I also see the end of the steroids in a couple weeks which will help my revitalization and strengthening  pricess immensely.

Still am tiring easily, and pretty foggy at times, but this curtain should begin to lift in the next week or so.  They say.

We are, however, active and getting out and about, in addition to the occasional PT I'm able to force myself to do.  For example, we've been out to several concerts, I got started on the veggie garden yesterday, and we're back in the choir at church.

The photo below is of the techies at the Radiation Oncology Center, yours truly, and my mini-me, the mask they use to assure the zappage is on aim.
