He finished his radiation - on Jan 7th - DO not think it done as good this time - only thing that's shrank significantly is the lymph node tumor on his left arm - kept the ones on chest from bursting open - have maybe shrank a little - The one on his back upper shoulder is about the same size as when started - plus there are new ones One just off of the one on his back upper shoulder near the neckline, one small one developing on the left shoulder blade midway again :-); and some low mid strunam that was out of radiation zone area and a smaller one up higher on the left front. The Brain lesions not sure of the gamma-knife was done on them but no report or follow-up as yet.

Follow-up for radiation treatment of the lymph node tumors is on Feb. 3rd

Went to Dr. today to blood work and comparison point - as starting him on Capecitabine / Xeloda something he has not been on and because he has exhausted all lung cancer chemo drugs/immunology - and something about the Genetic he done back in 2018 (I think) showed it could possibly help - 3 capsules 2 times a day. for 2 weeks and off one week - go back for follow-up blood work on Feb 7th

He is losing weight roughly 3 lbs since Dec 1st

He is looking a lot like his dad did in the last months of his life 🙂

Tired been long day - i came home and crashed - going to take hot bath and back to bed and laptop.

Hoping I can get some things done this made the 20th trip to Indy since Nov. 30th besides the 10-15 that were in October and with hurting my back Oct 16th trying to do stuff at new house but still had to carry on as was just the end of beginning week of that treatment schedule for him Its been a rough fall - with not being able to get things accomplished here - the Bobcat went down and was down from rd week in Sept to end of near end of October during all the nice warm days when things could be accomplished.

At least we are missing the horrid winter storms which is nice - i know some are complaining - I hope it continues I want to get things done here and at new house.

I bet that you are tired! Has the doctor asked him if he wanted to stop all treatments and just have medications that will keep him comfortable? I guess that I don't understand exactly what his doctor's intentions are and what he wants.
