With one more radiation treatment to go, I can't say week 7 is really done. As the latest card from Geoff and Carol says "the end is near! (your treatments). How true. Thank you for the card and gift card - now stop!
Steve's radiation tech - Catalina is amazed at how resilient Steve's skin on his neck and face are. She said she wishes she could show him pictures of patients that have gone through what he has and their sores and burns.
This weekend hasn't started out quite as well as weekends prior. Steve woke up and said his throat has never hurt so much in his life. I really need to be after him for his feedings (he's only had 2 cans so far today (1pm)) and to drink plenty of water.
While Steve was getting hydration this past week, Dr. Chen came into the medical room and saw Steve. She stopped by, gave me a hug, checked Steve's neck, smiled and gave Steve a hug. Steve's doctors, nurses and techs just amaze me. Besides family and friends, I have never met more loving and caring people. Chan, you and Brenda were right. The medical professionals in oncology are very unique with how they make you feel.
Okay, and one more thing. I swear that Steve's hair on his head and chest are turning dark. I checked with Chan and she said it could happen, some people's hair color changes. Pretty expensive way of turning back time!
We couldn't have done this without you. Your love and support mean the world to us.
ONE MORE RADIATION TREATMENT!
I am soooooooooooooo very happy that this is almost over with. I am amazed at how well Steve has done and how quickly (I'm sure you don't feel the same) this has gone.Rock On Steve!!!!! I am still praying for you until everything is over completely.
