Things are looking up!

After eight treatments of radiation (and daily chemotherapy), things are looking pretty good right now. Dad feels good, is not suffering major side effects since the steroids picked a fight with the headaches Saturday, and so far, the anti-nausea medication is working its magic on the chemo pills.

Rumor has it Dad was out mowing the lawn the other day (riding mower!), has been gaining a few pounds back with the help of generous helpings of dinner and dessert, and has been walking around the block to get some exercise. There's even talk of attending a Husker game in mid-September.

Apparently the woman at the Cancer Society confused him for a friend of a cancer patient, not a cancer patient, due to his overall look of health/well being. 

A fun fact: over 98 of you are following the blog, and roughly 20 people a day check in. We've hit most of the US, and even Romania! Thanks for checking in!
