Last week was a rough one. Steve's throat was very sore and he felt crummy. He decided not to go for any additional fluids after last Monday just to give his veins and his body a rest. (It was very strange not having any appointments to go to). So, he lost another 3 pounds. This week and next he is scheduled for fluids three times each week. Mary, his PA, said his neck is even softer than last week and feels "full." This concerned us and she said the fullness is because of the swelling not because the tumor is growing back. Whew! So far, so good. I've noticed Steve's voice is getting stronger as he is "yelling" at the TV during football - GO BEARS!!!!!!!
Stephen, thank you for coming down for a couple of days and helping out, Alanna thank you for being here whenever we need you (and for letting dad drive your new wheels in the cul-de-sac). George and Chan thank you for spending Sunday with us.
Tomorrow Steve has an appt. with his radiation oncologist, hopefully we'll get great news again!
Thank you everyone for your continued calls, cards and emails!
Love to all.
