Well sorry I didn't get to blog last night. We got a new computer for Dave yesterday and Steve was installing it for us. So now Dave can do email and everything!!!!Its been a couple of busy days with radiation and chemo.I took the day off yesterday and went with Ellie to take Dave. It turns out that they want to do something called coning , which is when they take another look to see if the tumor is shrinking and then change his radiation. It sounds like its a positive thought. Dave is having chemo at the Dr's. office in Patchogue . The office and nurses seem like great people. Dave had 2 bags of chemo yesterday and he also had radiation. They put him into a private room so you know he was like the MAN!!!!!He came home and had a burger and hot dog for supper!!!He is something else. Next thing we knew he was up dancing in the living room to the Blues Brothers!! You have to love his spirit. Ellie took him today and they did radiation and 1 bag of chemo. only a 3 hour day compared to a 6 hour day yesterday.They decided to retag him for his radiation. The plan is that he is going to have chemo tomorrow and a cat scan to check and change his dose and position of his radiation.He is feeling tired this evening but he is up watching TV talking on the phone. All and all it was a good day. Keep those prayers coming. Talk to you tomorrow. Dave and Julie
