Neil lost a big patch of hair on the back of his head, so he shaved it all off--it looks really good! He went to the oncologist today and long story short, he has appointments (alternating Dr. Mehta and Dr. Steinmetz) every three months. He gets a PET scan in three months, but Mehta seemed to think that he might not need them very often since he has done so well.
In other news, we are (hopefully) planning a vacation! We both really need a break and have not had an actual vacation since our honeymoon. So we are using some of our refund (after paying off medical bills) to travel to Canada from May 21-31 for our anniversary. Throughout his treatment, we always said we would go back when he was better (we had gone a few years ago), so that's what we're doing. This is our rough plan:
May 21
Travel to mid-to-upper Michigan, stay night
May 22
Travel to Sault St Marie, enter Canada.
May 22-25 Lake Superior Provincial Park.

May 25-26 Travel two hours to Pukaskwa National Park

May 26 Travel 3.5 hours to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park (this is the coolest one!
27-28 Sleeping Giant/Thunder Bay

29-31 Home. (17 hours, over three days, make stops along the way).
We're going to camp and recharge! Thanks everyone for your support even now...hopefully this trip will put some life back into us!
