This week as been a little better for Jon. They tell us at the Vitamin C infusions should help him feel better as well as kill cancer. Dr. Reilly did up the infusions to twice a week so we have ended up at two infusions, three acupunctures and one chemotherapy per week. Jon still sleeps a lot but feels pretty decent in the morning and can get a few things accomplished before lunch. He naps most of the afternoon, has dinner and is then pretty tired the rest of the evening. He definitely has chemo brain which means his memory is even worse than before cancer(which will explain why you will be receiving two birthday cards from us, Stac).

I had a long conversation with Stanford University today and sent all of his records for review. I discovered that they are the innovators of the Cyberknife and have the most current applications so we may end up selecting them over the UW after all. Both will be reviewing Jon's records next week. He asked me to also send the picture I posted on the blog a few months ago of him flexing after his workout, just in case they're not sure he can tolerate a surgery. I am still awaiting a return telephone call from the University of Pittsburg regarding the Selective Internal Radiation Therapy.
