Chemo's DONE!

Tommy did it! Chemo's DONE ~ AMEN. Like all the other treatments, this last one was hard on him. We were at the hospital ALL day yesterday getting transfusions. Being that we enjoy our extended family at the "Dr's House" it was all good. A wonderful friend and office mate took care of Maggie till Tommy and I could get her around 8 PM. Thank you Angela for ALL that you did yesterday and know we greatly love you and your family.

Now that chemo is done, we'll start the next phase of the treatment which is all about follow up and rebuilding our Tommy. We start with a bone scan and chest x-ray on the 22nd and need to do a MRI, in addition to routine blood checks. The port will be removed from his chest in the near future as well (thinking March).

Tommy will have a BIG "Off Chemo" party from the hospital at the end of this month. He thinks all trophies are called "Piston Cups" from the movie "Cars" so I hope to find him a "Piston Cup" in honor of his chemo being done from Mag's, Dad and I. He has also been awarded a Hero Award and there will be an official presentation for it from the military. And we plan to do a family trip to Disneyland for him next month. His cousins in AZ are planning a party for him as well. Lots to celebrate and that's for sure!!!

Keep visitng back and look for updates. YES, yes, yes!!! Pictures will come...they're a pain to load and takes a lot of time - something I run short on these days.
