    Sorry for Zombiethread, sorry for the size of the pic, but...

    Radiation is DONE.

    4wks. until MRI, if it looks good, the port is history. Thanks again for all the good thoughts & good advice, everyone. He did not suffer one single infection while in chemo. Absolutely astonishes me, since his treatment ran through the "cold & flu season"--and his mom is a detention officer (jail is a stewpot of biological misery) Shove cocaine, Rick James!..Neupogen's "a helluva drug".

    "On topic" comment: Greg (on the right) is a 60s-70s Mustang guy with a couple of self-rebuilt SBFs sitting in his garage. Travis (on the left) is restoring a 70s Toyota Celica. Yeah, I told him about the JNC movement..he didn't know there were others.

    EDIT: Corolla, not Celica! More props to the man..

    I'm sorry I missed this post the first go-round. My wife went through chemo and radiation 4 years ago for non-hodgkins lymphoma. She said the 'tiredness' after radiation was tough because she was feeling so much better after chemo. The effects of radiation build up over a month or two and it's not until sometime after treatment the effects are most severe. Just tell the boy to hang in there and everything will be ok, because it will be

    I missed this the first time around - I was cringing when I clicked because that subject line can never be a good thing and I'm glad the story had time to run positive before I read it.

    I am glad he is doing well.

    That's at Emory. Like SWMBO says, if ya gotta have cancer, Atlanta's not a bad place to do so. Also major respect for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where the infusion ward was. Amazing facility with a fantastic staff.
