Hi everyone, hope all are doing well. I'm doing a well as can be expected (personally I think I'm doing great considering)
Had my 8th chemo treatment in 4 weeks (2 every friday) I'm told that after the initial 10-12 weeks he may extend it up to 5 months only at every 3 weeks (oh boy!). Will be starting the radiation therapy wednesday, at 39 treatments for 5 days a week.

I'll post a couple pics of the mask I have to wear so I can't move my head during treatment...Hmmm I wonder if Los Straitjackets need a guitar player?





After making my arms look like a junky, they finally are going to install a port in my chest for the chemo.



So far everything is working as it should, the tumor has shrunk considerably and with radiation it should do even better. I'm a bit slower and with NO energy but no complaints here.

Again I want to thank the online community for all your kindness you have shown me. Without your help I literally could not be doing this.

PS. Michael Fuller could you please call me sometime this week (or answer your phone? Smile ).

Bob, I'm glad the tumor is shrinking. At least the nurses are pretty.
