Almost There!

Just a quick update in regard to my treatments:

For my radiation treatments, after today, Dec. 2nd, I only have 5 more days to go. Tuesday, 12/16 is my final treatment at Yale. Surprisingly my head does not glow.

For my chemotherapy, after tonight, I only have 3 more nights to go.

I will see my medical oncologist on Friday for my weekly blood work and a meeting. Approximately 2 weeks after the 16th, so around the 22nd or 23rd, I will have to go for an MRI to see what the prognosis is. They cannot do it right after as my brain looks like scrambled eggs or something – so they want everything to settle in.

Am doing well. Am fatigued, not eating as much, and obviously my brother has chopped off my hair. But all in all, so far so good.

Look forward to speaking with each of you soon. Definitely am gearing up for Christmas. T.J. and I are getting our parents a new plasma television – I hope to enjoy some of it before I leave for Europe.

Mike...Marc shaves his head, too. Would be hard to tell you two apart. You look good. As always, we're wishing you and your family the best.
