Day 42, Magic Number 0! It finally arrived, the day we’ve been waiting for. Peter got through his last radiation treatment with Hillary’s help as cheerleader in the control booth with the techs, then walked out to hugs from me and from the techs, who gave him a certificate for having completed the course of treatment. He declined the offer to ring the clinic bell, but Hillary took a photo of him standing next to it. He was wearing a beautiful red sweater knitted for him by his sister Gerta, so the sweater will become a happy reminder of the beginning of a new phase of his recovery. More will follow in the days to come, so stay tuned!

Frame that photo of you holding the certificate! Really good photo! Now is recuperation time. The fatigue from chemo and radiation is like no other but now you have days to regain strength. We're leaving for Florida this week, but Jack and I will check your blog and always know we are thinking of Carol and you and wishing stronger days ahead.
