The Last week Plus one day!

hello Family and Friends, Fred is so close to being done with treatment...he has one more chemo treatment and 6 more radiation treatments. We thank you so much for all your prayers and good wishes, please don't stop...they are what have gotten Fred and us through all this crazy stuff! Fred's radiation treatments have taken a toll on his throat and mouth, so he finds it difficult to talk too much, so keep your e-mails and comments to this blog coming, he finds comfort in you-all checking in. He has been watching the Phillie's, glad they are on a winning streak! He also has been watching golf, so all you golf buddies he will eventually look forward to getting out there with you and playing, hopefully sooner rather than later! Fred's parents have been wonderful, helping in anyway possible. His Dad is his radiation buddy...taking him to appointments and also being his support when he needs to talk with the Doctors and their staff. Their help has allowed me to continue to work and keep things rolling around here, Thank you so very much G-Dad and Jooge! Fred is hanging tough, he knows this week could be the toughest one yet, so we will continue to take it one day at a time, live to our best ability and continue to pray for strength, comfort and good health for Fred and all those afflicted with this terrible disease. :) Peace Dana
