Thirty down, three to go…
Hi All
I hope you are or will get to enjoy this Friday afternoon...it's beautiful!
It's hard to believe I started radiation six weeks ago...it's all kind of a blur. I will officially be done this coming Wednesday. They have already started tapering me off the decadron (steroid that's the root of my misery and which you can't quit cold turkey). They are being aggressive with the taper, which I truly appreciate, and it looks like if all goes well I should be off the decadron in 10 days.
I finally got the green light to start driving...it's amazing what we take for granted. I didn't realize the independence lost until I was relying on someone everyday for a ride. Nonetheless, I have my keys back and I couldn't be happier 
I'm looking forward to the party on MAY 15th at Barry's Bar & Grill! Should be a GREAT time! And if you have a Team Travis shirt, wear it or a shade of gray to promote brain cancer.
Guess that's all for now...be well and happy...TB

I am sure the community is a little less happy than you are about having your driving abilities back…juuuuuuust kidding. As I do recall, I think that it was me that was always the bad driver. We are so excited that you are doing so awesome and not surprised one bit, that you are overcoming every bit of this. Keep it Burkman…Can’t wait to BBQ and have some cocktails this summer. YOU and your family, BE WELL!!!
