    Hi Donna
    Thanks for asking , My brother finished the cyberknife radiation so now he is on regular radiation every week for 5 weeks he is taking tremador chemo pill. He is doing well with the treatments his hip is healing good still no weight bearing on that leg for about 4 weeks more then he can bear weight so he is waiting for that day in about 5or six weeks they will do a scan and see if anything lites up i hope not but that is his plan . I have a colonoscopy set for oct 6 4 liters of golytly gosh that seems alot but i will try my best, angel could not do the whole thing it made him gag its the taste i think. My work is good The house is up for a short sale do have an offer so we will see the boat hasn't sold yet but i have about 3 months more in the house. Ac working good, my son is coming from ca this weekend to pick up angels big tool boxes and any thing else i want to give him and then go back to ca on sunday,It seems harder emotionaly for me right now I miss angel so and need him more now it seems. I joined the american legion auxillary play bingo dinners stuff like that to get me out on the weekend had breakfast there sat it was good and cheap 5 bucks . I hope you get feeling better and be ned very soon there are so many people here beating this cancer and you will be one of those to.take care donna

    huggs back to you

    I'm Glad...
    ...to hear your brother is doing well! Tell him to hang tough, I don't know much about the chemo pills, are they better then just regular infusions?

    Good luck on your colonoscopy! Let us know how it turns out, I know, the "Golytely" stuff is totally disgusting!! they gave me pineapple flavored, and I be darned it tasted like pineapples..I think it's more the texture that gets to me, it's so gooey thick, and makes you gag as it goes down...I wonder why they just don't give you the pills! I didn't even finish mine either, I had abit left, but just couldn't get it down.

    At least you have an offer on the house. Where will you be moving too? and yay!! on the AC!! I can't live without an AC, I like it nice and cold, I am an autumn person, and winter person, I never liked the heat. But the fall brings such beautiful foliage.

    I know how much you miss angel, and you know he's still around you, I'm glad you're still getting out and I love Bingo, though I never win a thing, it's still fun to play! I don't think I'll ever be NED, but it would be nice, there's always hope for everyone, your brother as well!

    You can talk to me anytime you need someone to talk too :)

    Hugsss!

    Thanks
    Donna

    Brother
    So glad that he is responding to treatment and sounds like he is doing better. It sounds like you still have so much on your plate. Glad to hear that you have a possible sale on your home. That is a worry that you don't need right now. I am sure you miss Angel desperately, especially during this difficult time in your life and then with the move. He is with you and will help get you through - hence the name "Angel."

    Prayers and thoughts continue for you. Kim
