Update #57 for Alan’s Army
Wednesday August 20th, 2008 - Alan’s 33rd and FINAL Radiation treatment is completed!
It is also Ginny’s birthday - I’m not allowed to tell you her age, but she is 98 percent of the way to half a century - of course she looks half of that!
We are celebrating both events by actually taking a mini-vacation. We are headed down to the Jersey shore later today (I have a couple of hours of work to do before we can go) through Sunday. Unfortunately Amber has Band Camp this week so Ginny will run back home and get her Friday afternoon. Alan and I will drive up to New Brunswick on Saturday morning for the 36th Annual Jersey Jam Disc Golf Tournament run by BOB, Kit, and the rest of the Jersey Devils. I plan to actually play and Alan will tag along for probably the first round and then kick back and relax during the second round. Hopefully the weather will hold on - this morning was an awesome 57 degrees with clear skies - a perfect summer morning!
OK, we are on the way home with Alan’s Radiation Diploma and his mask (molded plastic mask that kept his head in the exact same position for each treatment) as a keepsake.
I’ll send an update about Monday’s trip to the Oncologist from the Beach.
Thanks all and God Bless!
Andrew
Congrats on finishing radiation Alan! See you at the Jam!
