Another major milestone day! Last round of radiation therapy done! That was number 38! All done with both sides of therapy now - what a relief! It has been a rough road to go down through this battle and the strength of the support from my friends, co-workers, and most importantly my incredible family have helped me get through it. Andrea has been my rock throughout this entire thing and really has kept me on track and pushing on even when the pushing was tough.

Now what to do? Heal, heal, heal!!! Oh and the multitude of doctors follow ups and tests as we go. I am ready on the healing part though. I am ready to get back to eating food through my mouth instead of a tube, drinking a cold one, and getting back to normalcy and the daily grind! Oh, how I miss the grind!

We had a little party if you will after my RT today; Andrea baked a cake and brought it in with thank you written on it for the staff at Littleton. They are a great bunch of people there who help support not only me but provided a lot of support for Andrea as well. It was a great celebration and fun with those folks.

Tomorrow is the first day without anything like chemo or RT...I'm not sure we are going to know how to act! I will continue to get IV fluids on a daily basis for a couple of weeks until my fluid and food intake is coming more through the mouth but that is no big thing; no stress related to it.
