Radiology "Dry Run"- Trip 5 to Duke

This Friday at 2pm, Joe has his "dry run" or walk-thru for his radiation treatments at Duke.  His first radiation treatment is set for Monday, Dec. 6th.  At the dry run, we will get our parking pass, be shown where to park, get a walk-thru of the clinic and be shown what to expect and where to go for his upcoming treatments.  We are told the walk-thru will take about 1 hour, approximately twice the amount of time the actual treatments will take come Monday.

Besides his first radiation treatment on Monday, Joe also has an appointment with his oncologist, Dr. Zafar.  As of today, his energy level is very good, his color is getting closer and closer to normal, the itching is completely gone and most other symptoms that have popped up in the last 1 1/2 months have either lessened or gone away.

Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive, especially our family, friends, our church family at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church and Jeff's co-workers at The Home Team.
