Another Milestone

Treatment #28 was completed today. That brings us to the 2/3 mark -- 14 more treatments to go. So far, so good insofar as side effects. Here is one interesting comment from one of Paul's fellow proton patients, when asked how he was feeling: "If I felt any better, it would be frightening".

We've settled into a fairly regular routine. Tuesday nights we attend the patient run "pot luck" at Loma Linda Springs, an apartment complex near the hospital. Thursday nights we generally join the "dining out" group and eat at a different restaurant each week. We usually don't attend the Wednesday night revival meeting / support group unless there is a speaker whose talk we want to hear. Last Wednesday night, one of the doctors gave a talk on advances in proton therapy, which was quite interesting. If we do attend any of these sessions in the future, we now know to arrive 1.5 hours after the meeting is scheduled to start, having eaten first. That's when the speaker generally begins.

That's it for now. More soon.
