I received a call from my doctor's assistant on Friday and after discussing my treatment, they have decided to change from giving me chemo to radiation.  This was another change that I was not prepared for.  I am pleased that my doctors are monitoring my progress and looking for treatment that would make a difference. I had good results four years ago with radiation, however, I had thought I was told that I had reached my limit on radiation.  We are meeting with my radiation doctor this Tuesday, so I have many questions.  No matter what we do, I just want to get it started.  My major concern is sitting and not having any treatment.  It now has been over two and a half weeks since my chemo, so I am getting a bit edgy!  My condition has not changed.  Walking is an effort with the walker.  My most difficult task is taking a shower.  With Kath's help, I make it through, but it is exhausting.  I continue to keep busy with friends and family, which is my highlight of everyday!  We have a family gathering today.  Yesterday Kath and I celebrated our 38th anniversary!  We went to Chinook Winds Casino for breakfast/lunch!  Hard to believe that she has put up with me for that many years!  Thanks again for all of your comments and thoughts.  I'll let you know how treatment progresses and what I find out this week!

38 years! Congrats to two of the nicest folks I know. I knew you two as a couple back maybe in 1969-70? You got married just a month before I started teaching at WAHS, a galaxy far far away and yet almost like yesterday in some ways. Love you guys! Doug
