We would like to thank everyone that helped us celebrate the ending of the chemotherapy. What a treat it was to see so many people who have been so supportive. Well, Ron just finished his tenth day of radiation treatment. He is scheduled for twenty-three more treatments, so we are almost one-third of the way through. He is still not sleeping at night and has even resorted to acupuncture to help with the insomnia(can you believe he has agreed to have needles poked into him?). He is still not seeing any results, which is frustrating. We meet with the doctors each Monday after his radiation treatment which is nice because we have the opportunity to ask any questions we might have. Already, Ron seems to be experiencing fatigue caused by the radiation, and as he expressed to the doctor, he feels like he is on an emotional roller coaster. We are hoping that if he begins to sleep better, some of these feelings will be resolved. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers. By the way, the acupuncture doctor kept telling me that "He is VERY strong man" and I kept telling him "I know"......but then we all know that! Thanks again.
