PANCAKES AGAIN

It must be Saturday again --Pancakes__ Love that habit. Truman finished two weeks of radiation!!! It is all going well. The cancer on the tip of his nose will all be gone in another month and he will still have his nose. Surgery would have taken the tip maybe. This seemed the best way to go. He must stay out of sun unless he is well covered. Not easy and still play golf. Hats and a nose mask help. It does not hurt and cause any side affects. Maybe deeper into the therapy it will get red and burn a little but all in all it is amazing what can be done. And as he said "I get free coffee and a cookie too." We know the places to go to get free coffee. He just told me he left cookie in the car and he also picked up an apple too and the Dr's office. He goes to the Hederman Cancer Center at the Baptist. It will still cost a lot above Insurance so he is getting all the "perks" along the way. He is a really amazing man!! Always finding ways to have fun. His personality keeps him a young 87 and he will be 88 September 13. I have to really work hard to keep up with him, but it is worth the ride.

Sweetly Be,
Betty (Ma-Maw) Boop
