One More Round of Radiation

My apologies for promising an update and not posting it. I haven't been feeling too well. Two weeks ago, I came down with some lung thing. 3 different doctors thought it was 3 different things (pneumonia, blood clot in lung, maybe my tumor affecting me). After 2 weeks on antibiotics, another steroid and many other symptomatic meds, I am starting to feel better.
So, the new news. There really isn't any. I will begin radiation on one spot on my lung on Monday Sept. 12. This will be 5 treatments, three in one week (I will be staying in a hotel all week to save on gas money) then two the next week (will again most likely stay up there). After these five treatments are done........ are you ready......... big smiley face.........I WILL HAVE 6, YES S-I-X months off of ALL treatment!! This was my choice and my doc says that with these being such slow growing tumors and there will be no more left that can be harmful, a six month break will be okay. I am so excited to feel normal again (although, I don't think there is anything normal about my life). I will go back to Ann Arbor on Nov. 30 to find out what the radiation did to my brain.
So, there you have it, we are at the long stretch now, but it is almost over for a while. My next treatments will be pills similar to the ones I had in DC but the study will be in Ann Arbor.
Thank you so much for your love and support! I don't think Kevin and I would have made it through this round without such great friends and family!!!!
