The countdown has begun.  Ric has 5 more days of radiation therapy and chemo.  Then he will be off treatment for 1 month...in which we will then meet with the oncology team once again to discuss future steps.  At the end of October Ric will have another MRI.  As far as we know Ric will be on chemo (taken orally) for 12 months starting in November.  This is to be confirmed. 

Ric continues to amaze me!  He has a lot of energy for someone who is undergoing radiation and chemo.  I guess I expected to him to be laying around the house more...and ringing the bell...since he has 4 girls waiting to wait on him hand and foot, if needed.  Surprising he is not taking advantage of the situation...especially on NFL Sundays!!  I am confident Ric will continue to feel well throughout the next phase, on which we will embark in a months time.  We will just have to find a new balance.
