Mike completed his fourth week of radiation treatments this morning, and had his second chemo infusion this past Monday. So, he's now two-thirds of the way through his treatments, followed by another 4-6 weeks of follow-up and testing. Given the wide range of progress he could be experiencing right now, he's extremely pleased to be where he is--responding to the daily meals (such as they are), gaining back a few pounds of weight, and having only minor nausea from this last chemo infusion. Still hard to say how much more scalp hair he might lose.
It looks like he's now ready to be a bit more active with some short walks, so hopefully the weather will cooperate for that over the weekend.
Please stay in touch via the blog and your private emails and we'll keep posting as things move along. For right now, we and the docs appear to be in a state of holding on to some signs of cautious optimism.

‘Every cloud has a silver lining’
Please don't worry.
I am sure Mike's perfect recovery.
