Hi, Peter
Glad that you have everything all scheduled. I am certain my husband would have gone for the surgery as well had it been available to him.
I'm sure your doc's have already mentioned it, but avoid supplements (especially vitamin E) once you are in radiation. People forget that things that help your body heal from radiation can also help the cancer.
It will be a rough summer, but you will get through it! Remember to say yes to offers of help - it is going to be hard on Deb too, and she might like a day off with friends from time to time.
Best wishes for a wonderful time with your family this week, and keep us posted.
Maria
