Today is the beginning of the last 10 treatments. Everyone is encouraged that the tumors have shrunk. Paul is feeling generally GREAT! He still has periods of fatigue, little skin itching but nothing serious. He uses his oximeter to test his oxygen levels often and is able to go without any oxygen most of the time. He still uses it at night and will until he talks with his pulmonary doctor.
I am going with him and driving home from his treatments but yesterday he drove to our sons and back - 30 miles - for dinner and some football and climbed our sons stairs with no oxygen and no problems with short of breath. Of course, mainly because of his bad back he has to move slowly anyway. He also has been having problems with his ankles and not sure what that is related to but will keep an eye on it and have it checked out.
CT scan is November 23 and Doctor report on December 5. We will enjoy the Fall and expect only the BEST news then.
