Today was the end of my second week of radiation, with four weeks to go. Tomorrow will be the end of the second week of Temodar chemotherapy, but I only have radiation five days of each week. So far, both treatments have gone very well. I have some minor effects, but nothing of any seriousness. I got the results of last Friday's blood tests today, and so far my blood system is taking all the medical treatments very well. There are expectations that features like white blood cell and platelet levels will be reduced, but so far I am doing very well and am considerably above the minimal levels. So far so good is the best way to put it, and I intend for that to continue the next four weeks.
The weather has certainly changed to our benefit. Around 85 degrees was the max today, after Wednesday's high of 105. I do not want to experience that again -- the mere concept may play a huge role in travel I plan the next few years. And better yet last night -- the lows dropped into the 60's. They are predicted to drop into the 50's tonight -- hurrah! That will make sleeping ever so much easier.
Here's hoping you all have a great weekend. I'll report what we do to have a good one tomorrow and Sunday...
Dennis & Faith, with Gary

It almost seems cool here after visiting you and WALKING to the train stop. I will tell you now that it is so hot here that the heat is all people are talking about and of course every single fan in town is sold out. I am just thankful that my house is in the shade and my car came with working air conditioning. It is 10 years old and I guess I got it from someone who took care of it.
I hope the umbrella helps if for some reason you have to walk somewhere.
Keep cool,
Elizabeth
Hey Dennis! We are still pulling for you down in Centralia. Sorry that you got to experience Washington at its hottest. God bless!
