Appointment Today!

Neil's appointment with Dr. Steinmetz (radiation) was GREAT. Neil has had four radiation treatments so far and met with the doctor today to have a checkup. The doctor said that at this time he wants to do 17, not 20, treatments. He also said that the lymph nodes had scar tissue but today were so small that it would be like someone who had never had cancer having slightly enlarged lymph nodes and they were not even big enough to measure! He said today, without any other treatment he would give Neil a 97% chance of being cured, and at the end of radiation would be brave enough to say 99.9%!
