JANUARY 25, 2008

Today Todd braved his final day of round one of chemotherapy. In addition to the chemo treatments, Todd will begin radiation treatments on Monday. We begin second round of chemo on February 12th. Due to the pain Todd is experiencing and the diffuculties he is having breathing, the doctors are treating this disease very aggressively. Once again Todd is extremely weak and has no appetite. We have been told by the doctors that the side effects from chemo will get worse before they gets better. We have given Todd an ultimatum, either he eats or we check him into the hospital. For all those who know Todd he will probably eat a good meal today.
