Turned out to be an Extra Long Wednesday today...

But home again, unpacked, and got Biff started catching up all the daily stuff he couldn't do earlier today. We're both exhausted, but nothing too dramatic to report. 

Yep, on Wednesdays, he has not only radiation but chemo as well. We left when the sun was rising, and we returned when the sun was setting. His magnesium was low again, so they added a 2 hour drip to the usual... 

And Biff had had a restless night. What he now calls the Night Wanders. No accidents or scary incidents, but neither of us got much sleep.

Found out we only have 2 more chemo sessions left, instead of 3, which is cool. Plenty of radiation still to come, but at least those are quick sessions. 

Biff was singing along to the Mamas & Papas all the way home in the rush hour traffic (caught it both directions 🤪)! 

Expecting a peaceful night of sleep! By gum!!! 😘🫶

One of Biff's sisters asked, "So, do you even know what the treatment, checkups, testing, etc, will happen after all the chemo and radiation treatments are over?" Thought I'd share my answer.

Not specifically, but they have warned it will take time to recover from the treatments (and we'll have to see how well the treatments worked on the actual cancer). At least a couple months, as many as six would not be unusual for full recovery from treatment. No way to know for sure in advance, as I understand it.

(I realize now that I forgot to include that there will be many follow up appointments and tests after the current treatments are finished. Those have already started to be scheduled.)

We have to get thru this, then we get thru the next phase. And, if the treatments work as well as expected, no more cancer. Although I believe he will require regular screenings and monitoring for the rest of his life. 

If it isn't in full remission, new plans will be developed.

I've now met people who have been on their cancer journey for years. Luckily, Biff's cancer is considered highly treatable, with an excellent prognosis for recovery. And he (and I) are doing everything we can to encourage the best outcome!

Still a long way to go.
