Treatment Started

On Monday, January 3rd, Gary started his chemo and radiation treatments.  His chemo is a constant feed of chemo through a tube coming from a pouch that he carries with him constantly...24/7.  The tube will be removed Friday afternoon.  Next Monday it will be connected again for another week.  His radiation treatments are fairly simple and quick.....15 minutes lying on a table.  These will be every day.  We think these treatments will last for several weeks before they take another CT Scan to see how the tumor is reacting to the treatments.

He is starting to feel some side effects, but not too bad.  He needs to stay away from crowds due to the risk of getting sick.  That means he will have to be resigned to watching ballgames from his recliner in the living room. 

He continues to have a positive attitude which is a tremendous help to me and everyone else around him.  We are taking one day at a time and looking forward to a positive CT Scan.
