One more night?

Well, it looks like after 55 days, 30 radiation treatments and 6 weeks of chemotherapy we are finally going home. As early as tomorrow, Judy will be discharged. She has been steadily recovering from the high dose radiation 'boost' they gave her last week. Yesterday she had one final minor surgery from which she has recovered beautifully. Because of that and her continued strength, they are set to discharge her. I'm holding my breath a little because it always seems like as soon as I say we are coming home, something happens to delay it. But it really looks good - all of her doctors have already signed off so it's only a matter of getting paperwork in order and prescriptions, etc. in place.

It will 6-8 weeks before they will scan again to see the state of the tumor.
