Update...

We saw Dr C. today and everything is looking good. He will see the doctor every 3 months and get a scan every 6 months for a while.

Steve has approached and gone through this with a positiveness and attitude that impressed me. He handled everything like a trooper.

He is our hero!

Almost done...

Steve is almost done with radiation. He goes today and then Monday and Tuesday next week.

Thanks to everyone for all your well wishes and encouragement. It means so much to all of us.

David, Brayden & Topperman Steve!

Steve's radiation started on Wednesday. Good news is he only needs 10 treatments and the exposure to his lungs in minimal. Also exposure to the heart is almost none. Biggest side effects from this will be fatigue, a sore throat and probably something like a sunburn on his chest, neck and upper back. It will be extremely important for him to be careful outdoors. He needs to be diligent about wearing sunblock and probably even a t-shirt when out for prolonged periods of time. This is really important for all young people but more so for him.

We'll keep you posted.
