Jack finished his radiation treatments on Monday and we are very glad. The only bad thing that happened was that we were so looking forward to a celebration but did not get home until 7 PM. There were several glitches in our day such that he had the final doctor consult at 5 PM. We were so exhausted when we got home that even the champagne didn't help much.
Today is Thursday and he is still fatigued beyond reason. The doctor said it could take up to 4 weeks for him to get back to any kind of "normal". Problem is that after all our great adventures, we are not sure what normal is.
Also, his platelets are not going up yet so we are still going to Silverdale everyother day or so for blood draws. Each time we hope it has gotten better. We will keep going until they really start to grow.
We had planned a trip to the coast next week, but have cancelled. Can't see spending all that time and $$ for travel and a condo when he can relax more here at home and know that he is safe. Maybe even I can get something done around the house. It was not a hard decision.
Meanwhile, thank you once again for your prayers and kind thoughts and gifts. We have been truely blessed by you all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers until Jack completes his recovery.
We have a appointment on April 30th for an MRI and consultation with his Chemotherapy doctor to discuss any further treatments. Until then, we are on medical "sabbatical".
