This Week's Update [9/13/15] - Off to New "Stuff"

[The Weekly Update is an email that was started in the fall of 2010 to keep family and friends informed of my medical condition and has continued as a review of family activities.  Written by Zelma and edited by Steve. Working on adding past issues to the blog.]

Hi All,

We had a good week.  Steve started radiation treatment on Thursday.  While we were waiting for his appointment, Steve got this picture of Olivia for her first day of school.  

We've found that a sense of humor can go a long way in the journey we've been on, so we joked about Steve doing a first-day sign for treatment.  I took Steve home after his appointment and before I had gotten packed up for work, he had his "First Day" sign ready for me to take his picture.   :-) 

Steve has completed 2 of the 5 treatments.  So far compared to previous radiation and chemo, this is pretty uneventful as far as side effects.  Fatigue is one of the potential side effects, but we still rode both days this weekend (although inside because it was very rainy and cool).  The weather is supposed to be better this week, so we plan to be back out on the canal path soon.

35 miles for the week, 2,414 miles for 2015 and 14,688 total miles.

Take care,

Zelma
