Braxton Up-date

From an e-mail David sent:

Braxton had an EXCELLENT weekend at my house this weekend. He is officially done with the first 6 weeks of Chemo as of last Monday, and today and tomorrow are officially his last two days of radiation. I'm SO glad! His radiation all last week and today and tomorrow are focused on the areas where the tumor was and 3 possible spots on his spine, so they aren't radiating his throat, and it's getting better. He is finally able to swallow, and this weekend he ate well. I hope he will be able to put some weight back on. They say they are going to give him 6 weeks off to eat and build strength and gain weight before beginning the 2nd wave of chemo with will be 6 months long. (At the beginning of each of the 6 months he will be in the hospital for 3 days. Not looking forward to that).
