Today Dani went with her Dad to see Dr. K, who is going to supervise his radiation treatments. They decided to give him two weeks off after his next chemo treatment so he will be feeling good for Anna's wedding on the 1st. He has one more treatment Tuesday, then the two weeks off and resumes chemo on August 3rd. Three treatments in August and then a week off. He will start radiation August 28th, every day for 28 treatments (weekdays). They are not going to give him the oral chemo, they will keep doing the port chemo once a week. So he will have that while undergoing the radiation. He may be done with it all by Thanksgiving.....
The doctor also said that Burt's chances are really good, most people who have pancreatic cancer and do the surgery and follow up are given a five year prognosis. But because his tumor was encapsulated (even though the margins were not clear) and it looks like it had not spread to the liver or gall bladder, he may be one of those few survivors whose cancer does not come back. That's why it's important that he do the chemo and radiation, to kill any of those cancer cells that might be floating around somewhere.
On a much lighter note, my BABY will be turning 21 Friday! Can you believe it??
