The Heat In On...

As the mercury climbed into the 90s today Dennis and I both felt like crawling into a refrigerated truck or a cold shower. All in all it was a day where everything we needed to do proceeded, but it seemed the heat made us slow and encouraged napping. Today was the very last regular radiation treatment for Dennis-for the last seven days, ending next Friday, the field of the beams is narrowed to a much smaller area pinpointed around where the tumor had been removed-this is called the boost phase.
Boost or not, we can visualize leaving and we are excited about the arrival of both daughters and possibly other family in the next few days. We hope they bring their sunscreen, or, in lieu of that cooler weather and rain. Anything akin to temperate rainforest will be appreciated. We are homesick and it will be a long time before we complain about rain again. Here's hoping, Faith and Dennis
