Today was the last Chemo treatment until the end of August. Radiation treatment will continue every day.

The Chemo is taking it's toll. Tom slept all day yesterday. He is very tired. The fatigue is a side effect of the Chemo. The doctor indicated he is dehydrated - also a side effect of the Chemo. One has to drink considerably more than usual to flush the Chemo drugs out of the liver. For those of you who have not seen him he has lost about 30 lbs.

We're hoping now that the Chemo is over he will regain some weight and some strength as well.

We have made an appointment to see the Physical Therapist so Tom can start some light exercises at home.

Those of you who know him well know that he was always pretty active. We need to get him back there.

Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
