First trip to oncologist after Ct scan

December 5 - Dr. Palozzi was impressed at how well Paul tolerated the radiation with very few side effects and obvious improvement to his breathing.  He said there was "shrinkage" but a little early to know the final results as radiation continues to work weeks and months after finished.

Dr. set up date for implanting a "port" in Paul's chest to administer chemtherapy treatments.  Treatments start on December 20 with one each month for probably 4 months.  After a couple treatments he will have tests done to see how well the treatments are working!

Here is Paul walking Penny - his main form of exercise - going to get the mail....
