Tuesday, September 30th

It has been a very long road so far but today is Harry's last radiation therapy treatment. Due to the power of the radiation he can never have it again for this cancer. He will miss seeing the therapy guys every day but we are hoping that the ability to swallow starts getting easier.

He did not have a very good day yesterday but he had chemo and radiation, so it was also a long day. He was not very hungry yesterday either. I bought some gatorade for him yesterday because he is sweating so much that we need to replace the fluids. Today we are going to see his medical oncologist Dr. Black, to try and determine what is causing the sweating.

He now has his own little hotel suite. A friend of mine,Darren, helped me get a small refrigerator/freezer to his room (boy does he love having that) and later I moved our microwave upstairs as well. So he is pretty set up.

So today we have a doctor's appointment and radiation and then we should get a break for about 3 weeks. I will post an update sometime tonight and let you know what the doctor says..

Take care and thanks
