Hi Debbie, Make sure you say hello to Dan for me. The waiting is the hardest part. They also told me they couldn't get the whole tumor due to it being on the carthoid artery. They aimed the IMRT radiation at this section and hoped to kill any remaining cancer cells.

Lets hope that thr remaining treatment will do the job that the surgery failed to do. I am finding this part of my time (after trearment) is the most diffucult. To much time to think about it before I go back to work in Feb. My wife and I are going to join the YMCA on Monday and I plan on working out 5 days a week. Want to get my golf swing in order before April. I was playing to an 8 handicap and I sure would like to play to that again!!
I will be praying for Dan's recovery through this diffucult time for both you and Dan.

Your Friend, Daniel
