Yesterday was Ken's last radiation. I got up this morning with the happy realization that we didn't have to make the three hour round trip to Cleveland! Although with yesterday's snows, it was more like a five hour round trip. Anyway, he is very tired, coughs up tons of mucus, and generally feels like most at the end of treatment. His peg is working fine, and he is still able to drink fluids, eat jello, and take pills by mouth. Total weight loss-25 pounds, not bad since he is 6'2". Our next checkup is in three weeks. His doctor is very confident that all will be well. In his words, "The treatment always works, it's just getting through it that is hard."
I'll keep you posted...
