Fred has one more radiation treatment on Monday. He has had no side effects of the radiation except fatigue. He is always ready for a nap. The pain caused by the sciatic nerve being pinched is much better. He is just taking Motrin now for pain when he needs it. He is walking much better too. He uses a cane and gets around real well. This week he walked to treatment every day. When we go for long walks he does ride in the wheel chair part of the way. He tires quickly.
Monday we have an appointment with his radiation Doc and the Doc's at NIH. We will learn the dates of our appointments next month. It looks like we will start the next drug trial after Labor Day. It will be good to get all the dates set so that we can plan our life around them.
We have had such a hard time deciding whether to go home or stay in the lower 48 for the next couple of weeks. We have been planning to spend some time with Wade and family on one of these trips. To make a long story short we have decided to go home on Wed. Fred & I are both ready to get out of the heat and be home for a couple of weeks. We will come see you soon Wade.

Glad to hear your pain is better, Fred. And I bet a few weeks at home will feel great for both of you after your run-around summer. Bon voyage. Hope all goes well between now and Easy Street.

I was just showing your blog to someone, and said to them, "Isn't that a sweet picture of Marie and Fred?" Their response was, "Hey, they aren't wearing any red!"
(This is anonymous because I laughed so hard that they didn't want you to know who said it!)
