Back to Life!

Today was Steve's last day of radiation and he couldn't be more excited to finally be done. By this time next week most of the side effects from the radiation should be subsiding. Overall Steve did really well through radiation. The first two weeks he didn't have any side effects then the last week and a half he started to have discomfort in his throat, heartburn, and tender skin (like having a sunburn) and the fatigue was starting to set in. During this past month I kept thinking I needed to update the blog but really there wasn't much to update and life has been busy and FUN so I decided to wait until he was through.
Since Steve's surgery in February he has been out of work because he wasn't released to return until four weeks post-surgery then he started radiation. Also these past twelve days his sister and her kids came to visit over spring break and we had a great time hang out with them. I have to say I LOVE having him home all day with me! He is going back part time this week and next week and I am sad.
Next on the agenda:
*May 11- he will have a follow up appointment with the radiation oncologist.
*June 6- he will have another follow up appointment with his medical oncologist and probably another PET scan
*June 30- Celebration- stay tuned for further details!
*October 13- Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society-further details to come
