Last radiation treatment today. He brought home his mask. He going to do something creative with it. I am hoping that in a few weeks he'll be eating real food again. The radiation oncology staff have been wonderful. He brought them flowers today, and they had him ring a celebration bell and there were hugs all around. I know it seems funny, but there is some anxiety about being cut loose and not seeing our "Rad "Pack" family every morning.
