Proton radiation is going well. I am in my second full week of treatment. 7 of 33 treatments are complete and I will have 5 more this week, Monday through Friday. I work with the same people each day and they are really good folks who care a ton. Nobody wants to be getting radiation for cancer and the people that work at the proton center do everything they can to make the experience as smooth as possible. So far, side effects have been minimal. But side effects are cumulative so I expect to have more fatigue as treatment continues.
Talking to my good friend, Scott, we realized that the Ghostbusters used "proton packs" to deal with the ghosts/demons/etc they encountered. One of my oncologists said that the objective of treatment is to transform my brain tumor into a "ghost" of a tumor since it cannot be surgically removed. I actually think is a beautiful analogy for how I have to learn to live and thrive in harmony with the tumor. So the Ghostbusters theme seems very relevant at the moment! We will have to re-watch the movie soon since it is such a classic (we already have been watching Star Wars). #whoyougonnacall
Additional news and updates: Kim felt Brim moving around for the first time last week! That was really, really exciting. Kim will be 20 weeks pregnant this week and that is the halfway mark! She is doing an amazing job balancing growing a child with everything else going on. We also made a quick trip down to Portland over the weekend to see friends, family and Lizzie and Blake's new home. It was a good test since we have not moved too far from home for a while. We passed.
Lastly, thank you for the continued support. It is absolutely amazing and has helped keep our positive attitude and spirits sky high.
Love to you all, Brian
