Visit with the oncologist....

Visit went well! CT scan looks good, does not look like cancer has spread! Now Burt starts chemo again, the Gemzar, for four months. One day a week for one hour. Three weeks on, one week off. If all goes well he should be done by mid-February. Something to look forward to!

Radiation is done and over with!

Burt had his last radiation treatment this morning! The infusion pump with the chemo bag was removed yesterday. I think he had his first really good sleep last night! No more wearing the pump and carrying it everywhere. Whew!

Now we have three weeks off before starting the next round of chemo. He has to get a CT scan and a complete blood workup before that will start. Mean while, we will savor the freedom of no doctor's visits, no treatments......time to celebrate!
