No more chemo? Maybe!

Neil saw Dr. Mehta this morning and he seems to think radiation will turn out to be the best option in Neil's case. Neil will have a PET scan on the 13th and then see a radiologist towards the end of February.

Radiation is riskier, but the only thing they were trying to avoid was getting too close to his heart. It seems now the opinion is the field of radiation will be ok. Of course, this is all still subject to change but it seems, at least for now, that the last chemo session will be this Friday!

Thanks to everyone who has joined our Relay for Life team. If you want to participate or donate, click here and click the "donate" or "join my team" button.

We are trying to raise $1000 for the American Cancer Society. The way the relay works is this: Your team walks from 6 p.m. on Friday night to noon Saturday. One person must be on the track at all times, so you can switch out, walk in pairs, whatever. The more people on the team, the less any one person must walk :-)

So far, my dad and Nate and Stacia are on Team Neil!
