Well, I made it through treatment. Unfortunately I did come down with a nasty case of pneumonia on Wed. last and had to spend the next 4 days in the hospital in Pittsburgh. They canceled Wednesday�s chemo but did keep the radiation treatments for Wed. and Friday so I got all my radiation in. Made it home here to Michigan on Sunday and mostly have been laid out on my recliner since.

Allison is worried I will stop breathing in the middle of the night and keeps a close eye on me which I don�t mind given the pneumonia and Charm�s recent brush with breathing problems in the middle of the night. I�m on Oxygen and copious amounts of pain killer for the burns. My neck is red and sensitive but the skin has not broken which is a good thing. I have a cream with lidocain in it that they gave me and that helps. I�ll post again when things change (hopefully for the better).
