This is not good news for Dick, or us!

I tried to call The Fleshers yesterday afternoon but got no answer. However, I got a call from Dick last night just before 10:00pm! Wow, what a great surprise for me. Dick said he was feeling pretty good, but that the Chemo was tiring him out- which is no surprise to me. He also told me that they were going to start him on radiation treatments today (Monday) and that he feels that this combination is going to hopefully do the trick. I do know that he was supposed to be taking a treatment of Chemo in pill form as of last Friday, and that they were going to start him on it on Friday night before he went to sleep. If he was able to keep it down he would be released to go home on Saturday which happened. I think he just might have his time-line on treatment a little out of kilter, unless they are going to overlap the Chemo and Radiation, which I thought were seperate issues.
At any rate, he is well aware of all of the love and support he has received from his Cobra family and he is sending you all his heartfelt thanks through me.
As always, I will keep this branch of his family as up to date as I possibly can.
