Steve's dad reporting again. And yes, this is April fools day, but everything in this blog is true. I am not yanking anybody's chain.

Steve, as you know, has been on hold for both radiation and chemo since Tuesday past. He has enjoyed the respite and has gained at least 5 pounds since the rest started. He is now ready to finish the task of 9 more radiations and 1 or 2 chemo treatments, with the approval of his doctors. While he was off, his intake orally has improved, his talking has improved with a voice that is reminiscent of his pre-cancer voice, and his appetite has improved.

Steve is very anxious for this ordeal to be completed. He is ready for a cold beer and a good bowl of chili from the Brewery Bar restaurant, a favorite haunt of his for 20 plus years. He hopes his taste buds return early after completion of therapy.

Again, Steve thanks you, and his family thanks you, for all the support you have given him.

I will keep in touch as we head into the last two weeks.
