Last Day of Radiation!

Today is Pete's last day of radiation, after 3 weeks of treatment. Chemotherapy ends this Tuesday. Pete has withstood treatments as well as can be expected - he's been fatigued and nauseous, but managed that pretty well. As is fairly typical, he's having soreness and a tightening in his esophagus from the radiation, but they are working to make that more comfortable. Now he gets a "break" so to speak, from treatments, but not from doctors. He'll be meeting with his surgeon and other doctors over the next few weeks, and we had originally been told that surgery would be about 3 weeks after radiation and chemo, which would be mid-June sometime. All in all, Pete's doing good and keeping a good attitude.

Pete would like to sincerely thank everyone for the wonderful cards and calls of encouragement - it has meant so much to him and really helped him through this time!
