Our Math was Pretty Good!

Our math was apparently pretty good in that we were correct on when Joe would be finishing up his radiation and chemo treatments - Friday, Jan. 14th.  That is the last day of his radiation as well as chemo.  He will then have approximately 4 weeks off before we have our "Day At Duke" on February 14th when he will have appointments with his radiologist (Dr. Czito), his oncologist (Dr. Zafar) and his surgeon (Dr. Tyler).  That day there will also be assorted tests and scans and hopefully we will learn that he is a good candidate for the surgery and get that part of the process in the works.

The increase in his chemo treatments does seem to have had some effect on his system.  His nausea or queasiness as he calls it, appears to have set in on a consistent basis.  He is really getting his moneys worth out of his nausea medications.  Cadillacs & Fords , Cadillacs & Fords.  His energy level has been depleted somewhat and naps/downtime are becoming more and more a part of his day.

His favorite past-time as of late is either playing "Wheel of Fortune", "Bejeweled" or "Zuma Blitz" on Facebook.  If you see him on Facebook and want to chat, please do.....just don't be surprised if his responses are slow as he will only chat in between games...unless you ask him about "Black Swan".

Joe asked me to say that he misses the "iced Christmas cookies".  He just misses Christmas period.  Of course we still have ALL our Christmas decorations up.  2 more days until Old Christmas!  We hope that our dear friend Doris has a speedy recovery from her knee replacement surgery today.  Sending lots of Get Well Wishes your way Doris.
