Over!

THE GREAT NEWS! The last radiation treatment was completed on Tuesday. "It" is finally over! Hallelujah!

THE MEDICAL REPORT. Bryan is still uncomfortable because of the "burn" on his chest & back (where the radiation was targeted), but expects his skin to heal now that the radiation treatments are over. His skin is very red--he says it burns and itches at the same time (difficult symptoms to satisfy at the same time).

WEEK IN REVIEW. We just returned from a quick weekend trip to New York for Bryan's company Christmas party. We had so much fun! It was great for me to meet so many of the good people who have supported Bryan over the past 6 months. Bryan was very happy to be back "at work" although he was exhausted by the end of the trip. His body doesn't have the same endurance it used to & he now has a yucky cough (which I believe he picked up on the airplane). His doctors started him on a strong antibiotic yesterday and also ordered a chest x-ray--we were relieved to find out he doesn't have pneumonia! He worked all day today, even making sales calls in Park City with a local distributor, but he is completely exhausted tonight. Even with a cough, he is happy to be back and work and done with cancer treatments!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thanks again to all of you who have helped us through this tough time. We are filled with hope and gratitude and we're enjoying this Christmas season a little more than usual--it is extra special!
