Bill's Brain

Today was the day. The super big, enormously important, meet-with-the-specialist-and-see-how-the-first-round-of-chemo-and-radiation-went day. And I’m going to cut straight to the chase, and say it was an amazing day. The scans look so good. In fact, the doctor said there are no visible signs of the tumor on the scan. Hallelujah!

It’s Pops’s last day of radiation and chemo before a whole month of R & R (with his favorite daughter 😉 ). I don’t know if he’s going to miss his fancy machine, but I know he’s going to miss his new favorite napping spot by the fire at the radiologists. ~ Jessica

Pops starts chemo and radiation today. All the good vibes to pops and his fancy new machine.
