Sept 6, come and gone; 30th official ENT appt

Well, the fateful and exact 6-months-from-end-of-treatment has come and gone (if this cancer comes back, 80 percent of the time it comes back in the first 6 months) and no lumpy bumpies! Matt has his official ENT appointment scheduled for Sept 30 so that's when Doogie will scope him and check things out...I think he also gets scheduled for another PET scan but not right away...So some big milestones coming and going! Thanks to you, niece Whitney for sending the congrats wishes on the day- of - you are amazing!

Matt is still dealing with the neuropathy. We thought the meds (Neurontin) were working at a nice low dose but he thinks that things weren't hurting so much due to the fact we were in the car a lot (drove down last weekend to visit Chapin at KU. Best weekend EVER!). So they have bumped up the dosage 3x; I have never seen such a big bottle of pills before in my life! Hopefully this will take the edge off for awhile.

So we keep chugging away....

Enjoy September! More on the 30th.
