WOW! Now that is alot of information to absorb, Gary! Tom's GP used to be a NASA scientist before he turned to medicine and the 'gray' term was a term they didn't have in his NASA days! The world keeps on rolling, doesn't it?
Hi, Kirk! Thank you for your reply - very much what I needed to hear. I got the feeling today that I shouldn't be 'pushing' this site on him; he told me he was happy hearing what everyone had to say through me. You know, his attitude going into this was, "Put me in, Coach!" He just wanted to get started and get on with killing this b*****d. He was all smiles and jokes at first chemo infusion and I was the one with the queasy stomach and teary eyes (WE DID NOT BELONG IN A CANCER CENTER is all my mind kept screaming!) He wore his "No Whining" t-shirt and had all the nurses and techs laughing......now I am the one reminding him that his attitude must stay strong. This first week of not being "10-ft tall and bullet-proof" has just shocked his entire system. He'll get back into the fight quickly, I'm sure!
I do believe they are going to do concurrent chemo/radiation after the 2nd course of chemo treatment and before surgery.
Have you been successful in regaining any weight?
One of Tom's employees has stopped in to see him, so I'll sign off.
Again, you are all in my prayers - for your restored health and with my thanks for being here. Thank you, Brian, for your vision and efforts in developing this foundation.
