Yes, he had both chemo and radiation.  I wouldn't say it was easy, but he did pretty well.  I don't think that I told you he weighed about 200 lbs at diagnosis, but went down to 114 lbs.  He currently is at 145.  We were so grateful to have been seen at Mayo.  They were a fantastic team.  His doctors continue to be such a support.  The surgeon called this week to see how he was doing.  Life is getting back to a routine.  I can't stress enough how important having a positive attitude and a team that supported us was.  On the day of his surgery, there were over 700 hits on his care page.  He is willing to talk to anyone who needs to go through it.  There will be scary times but it is important to know that someone else got through the nausea and the burning feeling.  Please keep positive thoughts and know that others are thinking of you.  Keep asking questions.  If I can't answer, I will get him to respond.  He is an inspiring story and I know how much we needed one!
