IT'S BEEN A GOOD WEEK !!
First of all , all of our kids but Placitas Daughter & Hubby Stacie and Barry were here at Kenneth's house for an early celebration of my 80TH Birthday. Which was actually on Tuesday Nov. 11. We had a great deal of visiting, A lot of GREAT Birthday cards, chips and dips, and a SUPER CAKE. (NO, it did not have 80 candles as the local fire ordinance will not permit such a blaze!!!)
Then, Tuesday the 11th was an easy day down at MD Anderson, so that was celebration enough for the real day.
A MINOR CELEBRATION YESTERDAY THE 13TH!! The Last Chemo was taken yesterday!!! The last one, that is, until Dec 10th. Dr. Blumenschein may or may not order another one then and again on January 7 maybe another one. But at least they are all over for now!!
Including today there are only 4 more Proton Radiation treatments. HURRRRRAY!! Next Wednesday the 19th will be the last Proton and we fly home on the 20th!! I get a haircut on the 21st. (Of what's still left of the grey stuff) I have found the ONE TINY benefit of Chemotherapy. Takes about 3 minutes to shave every third day. The beard REALLY slowed down it's growing!! I assume that it will resume it's normal growth along with the hair on the head once all this Chemo stuff stops. It's my understanding that both the chemo and the radiation continue to do their work for about 2 to 3 weeks after the last treatment.
Everyone have a good week-end and rest assured that all is going well here because of your prayers and the incredible treatments that I am receiving.

I saw the pictures on the email of your last day of proton treatments! I've never seen either of you smile so big ever! The happiness that radiated from you was beautiful! I am so excited that you've returned home for a bit! Have fun in the snow while you can get it!
