Jerry,
Thank you very much! I just had my final check-in with Dr. Ang, my RO. He thinks I am doing great. I have 5 rad treatments this week remaining (2 are tomorrow, 6 hours apart). I have chemo on Friday, then done. I think I have been lucky mostly about avoiding problems. We are in the process of scheduling the 6 week check-ups for everyone, trying to get them all in the same span of 2-3 days. No guarantees that everything has worked out like we want in terms of preventing recurrence, but the doc says my chances are good, and that time will tell. That is certainly true of life in general.
Let you know officially when I am done.
