Hey guys, Thankfully the weekend is here and I am treatment free for 2 days. It's a big deal, trust me! The really good news is that the cancer sites are no longer definable as such. The whole area looks the same, what my doc calls normal. We have definately turned a difficult corner and with 9 more radiation and 1 more chemo treatments to go, the home stretch is in site.I wear an opiate based pain patch now that takes care of all the highs and lows I was dealing with before, kind of in a fog all the time which I will except at this point. I stopped being able to talkd today, just a few wisppered words is all I can manage without elevating the pain. All things concidered, I feel pretty good, my daily walks with our dogs in the woods helps also.Chemo this coming Thur, another one of those hold tight requests from me to you. WE are doing it guys! Thanks for all your support, you know I love you!EarleSECR
