Update

Sorry for the lack of updates, there really isn't much to tell. Eric started his radiation treatments last week, the doctors anticipate that they should be completed by the end of March (things are a little vague with the exact number of treatments he'll be having). I believe or I should say I hear that Eric is doing well. I haven't talked to him for a couple of days, I believe he's laying low and relaxing, and letting this radiation do it's job. Sounds good to me!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Will you all join me in wishing my handsome baby brother a happy 24th birthday!! This year will be better for you!! We all love you!! Eric is going back to work tomorrow, and has his first radiation treatment tomorrow as well. After that he will have radiation treatments each day (Mon-Fri) for 18 days. And then we're going to Las Vegas, Bingo here we come!!!!

Full disclosure

So technically Eric's cancer is in remission. The PET scan shows no cancer cells which is fantastic news!! Eric still has a large mass in his chest, this is believed to be enlarged lymph nodes. The doctor is a little concerned about this, but she believes that the radiation should take care of it. She believes that these lymph nodes are non cancerous, just enlarged, and may take a little time to "go down". Eric starts radiation on Feb. 9th, for right now they are planning on doing 18 days of radiation, this is 15 min. a day, Mon-Fri. They will repeat a scan of his chest once radiation is complete to check the status of the mass. Eric is also planning on returning to work on Feb. 9th (the day after his 24th birthday I might add), so I hope they have big plans for a party when he returns :0)

Cancer Free!!

Eric's cancer is in remission!! I just got a text from him and for now this is all I know but I wanted you all to know!!

Hurry up and wait

Eric still hasn't heard anything back from the PET scan, hopefully later on today he will. No news is good news right?
