Last day of radiation - have been home between 3-5 each day of the 10 days - gave 4 hours travelling time with the construction work along the way there was a couple days they moved appointment up from 2 - to 1 & 1:40 of course we made time and arrived early think there was only one time had to wait very long most generally we were in and out before the scheduled time they are the greatest. done it for gas/snacks and a meal only 3 days did not stop for sandwich/meal the one day before i splurged stopped for Kentucky Fried Chicken family meal so there was plenty of leftovers for the next day - other 2 days said he did not want to stop done it for $495.18 - just the room board for the dog & cat and motel room for us these day days would of been $1933.10 not sure if we would of have to pay for transit while there or not; the valet parking was validated for all visits including initial dr visit too. Not sure if have helped still visibly swollen go back to radiologist on the 17th - his reg dr/labs/immunology next Friday still awaiting the Genomic reports... Amazingly it went very well except for a close encounter with a deer last week and this week... of course the Indy traffic but that's becoming old hat now.. started this journey in Oct 2017 (started with only an initial chest x-ray to see why was coughing so much then they ordered a ct which had to wait a week plus for results at local hospital in Sept - when family dr. only comment result was Thoracic surgeon & biopsy I said IU Medical center tried to get us to go locally but stuck to my guns not been sorry its been well worth all the travel time) God will only how much longer

Genomic testing in this was the message "All results from genomic testing were reviewed at the tumor board and unfortunately there were no recommendations that could be given based on those results. Also, no germline or hereditary link was found." Have been sent to his regular doctor so will see Friday what he says at this point not sure what to make of it - and what questions there is to ask if any - Maybe I am wrong but I still think it should of been the neck lymph node tested and not the axillary which has responded to treatment and stayed stable thus far.
