Hi guys,
10/10/08 was Tom's 52nd birthday and we celebrated in style. Well....in our style anyway. We went to Goode Company Seafood and had food that was just delicious! They even gave the birthday boy a big ol' slice of Pea-Kann (practice saying this out loud - it is fun) pie to take home!
On the health front we have had a bit of a set back. It seems this round of radiation is taking its toll a bit more and Tom is battling some demons. His short-term memory is slipping as is his general concentration and some processing skills. He has not been driving for a few weeks now (and frankly I think he likes having a "driver" available :-). With the help of Penny and John he is chauffeured to work and radiation and home each day. Truthfully I love the extra time we get together.
Radiation will end next week and then we learn more about the next procedure Tom will be having. It is basically creating a small cavity in this head with a tiny tiny tube coming out. This will allow for another chemo drug to be injected every two weeks. This method of insertion and distribution throughout the brain's membrane helps eliminate the notorious blood-brain barrier that prevents many drugs from annihilating the cancer cells as well as we would like.
At any rate I am still researching and will know more soon. We are having a great life through all this.
Please keep Tom in your prayers.
Love, Theresa

I swear you guys must be making all this up-either that or you save his best days for when we are around! I say this because I continue to be amazed at his fortitude and the fact that he is always "with it" whenever we get to share time together. All our love and prayers continue to be sent your way each and every day.
