Friday was the last radiation treatment. We had a nice meeting with Dr. Pollack and he feels she has done well. We won't know the final results of the radiation for between 4 and 10 weeks, and the treatment continues to have effects for that range of time. The mail problem is fairly bad skin burns in the right armpit. The burns on the chest are healing faster. Dr. Pollack says the skin should be better in about 2 weeks. Marti will continue to have chemo weekly on thursdays. A new problem is that she now has some shingles on the left sides of her back and we immediately started the medicine for that last night. Shingles is a re-outbreak of chickenpox, so ANYONE WHO HAS NOT HAD CHICKENPOX SHOULD NOT VISIT RIGHT NOW, until this is healed.
Eileen is coming for the next 2 weeks. Kathleen has been a tremendous help.
Thanks to everyone
Love Bob
