I made it!!  Yesterday was my 25th and final radiation treatment!  Now it is the waiting game!  The hope is that I stay the same or improve over the next six weeks.  Then I will have an MRI to see what the radiation has done.  Again, I appreciate my friends more than I can say!  Thursday, Kath had reached her limit!  I was concerned that she could not drive safely to the hospital.  While I was worrying about what to do, I received an e-mail from Lynne Lindsay offering to drive any day!!  It was a gift!  So she drove me Friday and Barry stepped in and drove me Tuesday!  My friends have been such a blessing to us!!  Then I can not say enough about the people who work at OHSU!  I will not miss traveling each day to OHSU, but I will miss the people that work there.  They make a very stressful situation much easier to tolerate.  I will let you know how I am feeling over the next few weeks.  We meet with Dr. Hung in two weeks.  The only problem that I am having currently is a cough that is irritating.  When I cough, it causes pain to shoot through my left leg that hits a 10 on the pain scale!  Hopefully this will be taken care of by the meds I am on.  Kath gives me my medicine every eight hours.  I do not know how she does it!  I take around 20 to 25 pills a day!  She just smiles and  asks me if I would like to take the pills with water or chocolate milk!  I can not even begin to imagine trying to get through this without her!!
