Back to the Big Stuff

Radiation again at 9 a.m. and then we met with two radiation oncology docs. They seem to think Dave is doing well considering all his body has gone through. The radiation just uses up energy so that is why he is so weak and tired. He had lab following, then 1:30 appointment with the transplant team. They are also encouraged by his progress, and his lab results all are great. I did walk up to REI and got him a walking stick, and that seems to help a lot. It doesn't help the weakness, but at least he isn't as unsteady. He's already in bed for the night watching the Mariner's game, and I think I'll do a little knitting. Thanks everyone for your continued prayers.

  1. It sure makes me wonder what is causing so much cancer. Makes me a little paranoid. My thoughts and prayers are with you each day. You've come a long way. Keep up the positive attitudes.

  2. Hi, So glad you are getting good news from the doctors. I'm sure you'll have quite the welcome when you come home. We had rain here a good part of the day. The fire fighters will be happy! God Bless you both....Toni
