John completed 9 of 33 treatments and two chemos so far. No icky side effects from chemo yet, hopefully there won't be any. All else is well.

Two weeks done!!
John is starting to eat better now so the tumor must be shrinking!! Yeah! After a busy weekend with family visiting, John is with his brother Rick who is taking good care of him and feeding him well. Rick's main task I left him with is to fatten John up a bit. I think he's doing a great job!! Thanks Rick.

First Week Done!!
We've been here over a week now and things are going ok. We've already had a some visits from the Kluve's! Charlotte is such a cutie she brings so much joy!!
Natalie arrived yesterday too!! John is happiest when he is with his children, and now of course, with his granddaughter!!
John has completed 5 of 33 radiation treatments and one chemo treatment so far. He is doing OK, a little tired and not able to eat much other than liquids and pureed foods.
Radiation is daily and chemo once a week.
Our apartment is nice and very convenient to everything. We can walk to radiation treatments and all the shopping we need (Trader Joe's, Target, Rite Aid and Ralph's). Don't need anything more than that.
Stay tuned for pictures!!

Here we go again...
As most of you may know by now, John has been diagnosed with Metastatic Lung Cancer.
Wow! We were blind sighted by all of this, as life was going so well, enjoying family, friends, travel, and everything good that goes along with all those things. Things are still good though. There are so many positive things in our lives and the only worry we currently have is getting John the treatment he needs.
We are so lucky to have so many family members and friends that have already helped so much and continue to help us through this.
Thirty sessions of radiation concurrent with chemotherapy to knock this thing down again starting Tuesday 4/15/14 (don't forget to pay your taxes!!) at UCLA.
I will do my best to keep the blog updated as things progress, so check back periodically and leave John a note.
Much love,
Elaine and John
