We are down to the last two days of treatment. Bill has held up well and had minimal side effects (except for the loss of hair and extreme fatigue). We now have two weeks off to let the radiation and chemo continue to do their work and will have an MRI on September 14th to evaluate the success of treatment so far.
Dr. Friedman at Duke has us scheduled for September 20th and 21st which will give him time to review Bill's medical records and scans and determine the best course of continued treatment. A number of our providers here in Jacksonville have reinterated that Bill is just the kind of guy Friedman is looking for -- his positive attitude and sense of humor give us all hope.
We are very excited by Dr. Friedman's message in the YouTube video. You can see it on the blog or click this link.

Keep the positive energy flowing -- it's what gets us through each day.
Love,
Billy and Darlene
Bill is teaching all of us how to handle adversity (in the extreme)
