Tom is in the final stages of radiation. Up until now they have been giving him a standard dose in and around the tumor cavity. Yesterday they started giving him a boost. This is roughly double the radiation in a very specific area. The area is that which has been identified as the one where the last tumor regrowth started.
Tom's energy remains fine and his doctor is amazed that Tom continues to work his usual long hours. Tom has experienced "some" hair loss but otherwise his appetite and attitude remains great.
Tom has a great radiation team that actually specializes in treating children. The guy on the left is Dr. Paulino and his nurse Peggy is the blond front right. The team has been terrific and we are blessed to be working with them.
Love theresa

Great news and thank you for the update. We continue to root and pray for Tom!
Fabulous news!! We all know Tom is just a big kid (at heart that is) - so he is working the right team of doctors and nurses. ;-)
We'll have to go celebrate with a COLD beer when the treatments are done. I'm counting the days....
