Brian didn't return home until last night. The trip to and from CTCA was too quick a turn around for him. Brian stayed another night in Zion, IL to recover enough energy to head back home. The radiation mapping wasn't too pleasant either. Laying flat on a hard table with a plastic helmet over half his head shutting off airflow didn't score any points with him either. Brian and I will fly back to the CTCA next week on Tuesday and he will begin radiation treatments on Wednesday. Supposedly the treatments are for only 15 minutes, 5 days per week for 2 1/2 weeks. I pray this will help him sustain life and not have loss of voice or thyroid functions. Brian will be taking his guitar while I will take the computer to pass the time away. Also, plan on renting a car to take in the sites around ( Lake Michigan and maybe Milwaukee) if Brian feels up to it. Not to mention the car can get me to the mall :) I am done with my basic nursing assistant class and now able to concentrate on helping Brian in his next phase to eradicate the cancer monster.

Brian's sister Melanie and her husband Richard, brother James and Laurie are planning to come and watch Brian play with the Haywaddies in their last show of the season in Chadron, NE. Paqui and Jessamyn and their families are also planning on a rendezvous at the outdoor street dance. One last hurray for the summer!
