It's now Friday early evening and I've completed 5 of the 35 sessions of radiation. Unfortunately, I've been feeling a little nauseated most of the day and beginning to wonder if it's from the Chemo I got on Wednesday or just a combination of the radiation and chemo??? Anyway, it's not too awful bad, but I just have this upset feeling in my stomach and feel pretty tired.
The radiation has been going on as expected taking about 35-45 mins a session. Next week should go a lot quicker because they're not going to have to take CT scans each and every day and all I'll have to do is get the radiation which should only take 15-20 minutes.
My neck looks like it's a little sunburned but it's not bothering me yet and my throat still feels good. No other side effects as of yet except for this upset stomach thing I have going on right now.
That's about it for now. I'm gonna get some soup and hit the sack early tonight. Hopefully I'll feel a little bit better tomorrow.

Hey Dave,
Sounds as though things continue to go well. A testament to your strength and determination I would say!! So now that it's the weekend do you get a couple of days off and then start on Monday again? If so I hope you can relax and enjoy your weekend. You are almost there!!
As always...
...KEEP THE FAITH!!

Hi Dave,
read all your blog entries, I'm glad to see you're doing good in your cancer treatment. A lot has happened since we talked last. Keep up your spirits Pal, and our prayers are with you and your family. You can beat this Cancer with God's help!!
A lot has happened here too, Tracey's Mom past away last November, my daughter Meghan got married, I met my son for the first time in 26 years...I start a new job next month which requires some traveling so maybe I'll come through VA.
Bye for now Shipmate, may God bless you with his healing power. Hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend always, Kevin
