Radiation Down, Chemo to Go...

I am so proud of Barry. He has finished the radiation! Today was his last zapping as he calls it.

And touch wood, he has had no side effects as of yet. No headaches, no nausea. And so far, no hair loss! lol I am sure that is to come, so they keep telling us. I think he is worried what lies underneath his full head of hair, but hats and bandannas can cover up any bumps or blemishes.

Today was a good day. We had lunch, and Barry ate probably 95% of his meal, so that's an accomplishment in itself. Yesterday he was feeling under the weather, but we think that was down to eating and things not sitting well with him. I was like a mother hen, constantly asking how he was, paranoid that it was something more than what it was. I didn't like that feeling, and I have to try to relax and not panic lol. Not so easy for me!

The stories that I have come in about fond, funny, silly stories about Barry are great. Send more! lol. I will make a special post when I have more. So Steve, Dot, AJ, to call out a few people, send in your stories!

Had a lovely message on face book from the lovely Steve Walker! Looks like he is planning a trip from Australia to the Great White North! You should have seen Barry's face light up at the mention of that! When Steve told him he was beaming and he looked like a child on Christmas morning. So the plans are in the works and Barry, again, has something to look forward to! Steve, you are the best brother and brother in law EVER! Honestly, you have been a rock for Barry, and don't tell him I am blabbing this to everyone, but the one thing he said when a time limit was placed on his live was that he wanted to see you, no matter what the timeline was. And he said this while crying. You are the best. He would have never have asked you to come, so it means so much that you want to come and see him. xxxx

Daniel was sad today because it was not a school day lol. Funny boy :) He goes for a full day on Tuesday, so we shall see what he thinks after being left all day at school lol. I think he will have so much fun he won't even miss us until we're back to collect him at the end of the day! haha

We are having a yard sale tomorrow, so I am going to end this quickly so I can get enough sleep to be up and alert first thing in the morning! Lots of work to get it all out and set up.

Oh... I think tonight Barry looks a little pink. So perhaps he does have a side effect, now that I think of it. They said he may get a pinkish flush to his skin. His neck looks pink, like he is warm.

On that note, I will leave you with Aeorsmith below!
Lots of love and hugs xxxx
