RADIATION COMPLETE
Dave had his last of his sixteen radiation treatments today. He's done well and now it's the waiting game to see if it took care of that last "mass". We are confident that it did as he has responded so well to radiation in the past. It will be a couple of months before he has his next PET scan as the radiation continues to work for that length of time. I amazed at his fortitude and determination. Although he tires easily, he remains active and hasn't missed a day of work. Now, hopefully, he will regain strength, and he is still gaining weight. There is the possibility of going back to Seattle for another consultation before the two months are up, and we are waiting to hear from the doctors in Seattle regarding their thoughts. I've not been home for the last two days as I have had the "privilege" of taking care of Stella and Sully while Molly and Jeff took some time to spend together without the kids. D.J. and Dave are holding down the "fort" and taking care of the dogs. With D.J. there, I don't worry about leaving Dave alone. Guess I'm getting a little "protective"!!!

ReplyDeleteSounds like Dave is doing well. He is one "DRIVEN" guy. As always you both, and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, and I really do hope to get to Whitefish one of these days...Toni
