June 7th

We had an anxious week because my back began to hurt. I was having pain like an electrical shock was occurring in my back, so they moved up my MRI by a month. Dr. Hung came in and the first thing he said, was "just so you know, there is nothing in the MRI to be concerned about". This obviously gave us some relief (A LOT!). The radiation has caused the sheath on my nerve endings to disintegrate, which is causing the pain. It usually occurs about a year out from radiation and in the neck. Like always, I have to be a rarity, so mine is located in my sacrum. It is a temporary condition and it should right itself in the next couple of months.

Afterwards, we all went out and celebrated!

I just wanted to let you all know we are going strong. Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the summer!

Dude,

You really have a flair for the dramatic...hasn't there been enough excitement in your life recently.

On a lighter note, Tommy and I are going into the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho this August...around the Baron Lakes area. If you can scrounge up some canned bacon, you are welcome to tag along.

Great to hear good news regarding your health, anytime, anywhere. Keep enjoying life.

Your Bulldog buddy,

Tom Cutsforth
