This week can be summed up in one word..... uneventful. I know that's hard to believe in our life but this week has gone very smooth and Andrew is responding well and handling the treatment just like the doctors would like to see. Andrew began his first of 7 weeks of radiation at the Tomo Center in Fairfax, VA. It's one of the most beautiful and comfortable places we have ever been. The staff is great and knowledgeable and always there to answer any of our questions and concerns. We also meet with Dr. Bajaj every week to discuss Andrew's treatment and what he saw for the week. Dr. Bajaj is happy with what he saw this week and with the plan that he has set forth for the remainder of the treatment.
I think the only person ... well kinda person ... who is having problems with this chemo/radiation schedule is Winston. The best bulldog in the world. Winny is overly confused with the fact that we leave in the morning, like usual, but come back around 1:30 every day after chemo and are home for about an hour before leaving for radiation at 3:10. He has been eating 3 meals a day since he just can't get this schedule down pat ... so I guess he and Andrew are putting on the cancer weight this week. As you can see from the picture he is not happy to share the bed with me but is so cute I just couldn't move him.
But besides that life is continuing as normal as possible. Gwen and Steve are coming to visit for the weekend and we are very excited to see them. Thank you to everyone for all of the love, support, phone calls, emails, Facebook posts and cards. They keep Andrew's spirits high and his eye on the prize .... becoming cancer free.
Woof Woof ....
