I hope everyones afternoon is going well… I just want to write in real quick that Dad will not be having 33 IMRT radiation treatments. They added on the extra treatments just in case he needs the treatments just in case he has to cancel any. Dad’s radiation doctor assured us that he will only received 28 IMRT radiation treatments. As of right now, Dad’s last radiation treatment will be October 17, 2013 at 12:50pm.
Furthermore, he is now going to get his intravenous chemo done on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays. Reasoning is, Dad works a 4 10 hour shifts Sunday – Wednesday nights. So, he doesn’t have to take off work, we were able to get his intravenous chemo rescheduled to Thursdays.
As far as dad, he is hanging in there. The radiation treatment is making his mouth dry and so he is having to drink a lot more water.
