Hi Everyone,
Sorry I have not been giving any updates but I didn't want to bore everyone with the mundane daily cancer routine.
Our trip to Alaska/Chena Hot Springs was fantastic! Funny thing is I was going mainly for the Northern Lights (which were awesome) but the hot springs were very high on our awesome list. Had a great trip.
On the cancer status I finished up chemo at the middle of March. I thought surgery was the next step but my doctors decided I should get radiation as it will soften up the tumor for surgery and hopefully shrink it more. So, I started radiation at the beginning of April. 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Also, have to take oral chemo the 25 days of radiation. I won't deny it, this has been the hardest part of my treatments so far but only 7 more days and I am done! Then another CAT scan, 6 to 8 weeks recovery and if all is o.k. surgery in June!
The main worry we have is the tumor was wrapped around two arteries. My surgeon says it appears to have shrunk and is now abutting the two arteries. However, he won't be sure until the surgery. I would appreciate everyone's prayers that is has receded so the surgery can be successful.
Thanks for all of the kind thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are that you will watch a great football, basketball and baseball season healthy and full of strength. Most importantly full of strength.
