I just found out today that my friend will finally be starting treatment tomorrow, July 29. He'll be getting a combo of radiation and chemo for 6 weeks. I don't yet know the specifics of the chemo that he'll be receiving. But I'll find out in due time. I can sure offer to do some of the transportation since it's more than an hours drive each way. I just write now to keep those abreast who helpfully responded to my initial posts of a a few weeks ago. I'm saddened that the treatment has been so slow getting going. But I'm keeping fingers crossed for a good outcome.
