Outstanding, tremendous, remarkable, fantastic, above average - these are the words spoken by the radiation oncologist at Larry's appointment today. (There were other words/phrases, but he was talking so fast that I didn't get them all.) The appointment was for radiation planning and mapping in preparation for the next (last) round of radiation scheduled to start May 2. They call this one the "insurance round". This was the first time we had seen this doc since before surgery. He was VERY EXCITED about Larry's progress. He knew we had gotten the pathology results a few weeks ago, but he wanted to share his excitement and to make sure we understood that this was very good news.
Our next visit is April 29 with both oncologists and the surgeon. Larry will check into the hospital May 2 and will stay for 5 days. Home for the weekend then back for outpatient treatment May 9 for 5 days.
Larry is feeling stronger everyday. He got out Sunday to watch Stephen's friend Nick play wheelchair football against the UT football team. It was good to see him out and about. Fatigue is still a big issue, so any outing takes alot out of him. Every "big" activity is followed by a long nap.
The popsicles have been purchased - ready for the Popsicle Palooza on Friday!

ReplyDeleteWe were so touched to see Larry (and all of you of course) there at Nick's game. I was amazed. I'm sure he was exhausted but it was so nice to see him! Glad Stephen and Nick got together last week too. Nick had a great time hanging out! Hope you guys had a nice Easter! Amy
