Bob's cancer is "75% pushed back" (says one doctor), or "on simmer" (says another). Bob is trying another form of radiation/light therapy, PUVA. He has to take a drug that reduces the body's ability to deflect radiation (my layman understanding) and then he gets zapped with full body radiation in a phone booth. Then, for 24 hours, he has to wear sunglasses and slather on SPF 50 lotion. And do it again two days later.
He drives at night and they tell him he must still wear glasses at night. Therefore, he can't drive to work and is taking two FMLA days a week. So far his employers have been supportive.
Personally, I'm not entirely on board with this new treatment--it's disruptive and uncomfortable. The UPenn doctor said that his current state of improvement is considered a success. But Bob wants to be free of symptoms, and you can't blame him for that.

Medicine has made some amazing progress over the last few years. Here's hoping that this new treatment will help Bob more than enough to make up for the inconvenience and discomfort. So far, he looks like he's smiling just fine!
