On the radiation home stretch!

Sharon's last day of radiation will be either 9/24 or 9/25. The doctors are quite pleased with her reaction to the treatments. Because she's so tough and has her mind on the prize, they've decided to narrow and intensify the radiation treatment for the last week. It's going to take a major toll on her energy, but that's a small sacrifice for the ass kicking it'll do to the tumor.

The oncologists are in the process of creating her future treatment plans. It's believed that she'll remain on some sort of chemo, whether IV or oral, for the next few months. Detailed scans of the pancreas can't be done until swelling from radiation goes down in about 4 weeks, so they're going to keep aiming the big guns at it.

Sharon and Tim plan to spend the entire month of October in Asheville. What a change! Hopefully Sharon's energy will return so she can hit the town with friends and family. November will be spent in Florida vacationing in St. Augustine and visiting family and friends throughout the state. December will find them back in North Carolina preparing for the BIG WAGNER CHRISTMAS!!! Every 3rd year, Sharon, Tim, their 5 kids (& spouses) & 10 grandchildren get together for a week in the mountains.

Keep the positivity flowing!! Remission is the mission.
