The end of chemo

Final chemo today! Everything as usual except to be on the safe side Dr C chose to do a quick check of his port after taking that hit at the baseball game. They put some dye in and used a special light to watch the path to be sure there were no cracks or leaks. We didn't want to come this far and have something go wrong. One of the drugs used in chemo could cause serious damage to the chest wall if it leaked.

Later this month he will have another PET scan and more lab work. Then an appointment with Dr Smith, the radiation oncologist. They will have a quick appt and then take some time to put together a plan for the radiation.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and encouragement to Steve.

Love,

~Vicki
