Today my radiation treatment shifted to a "booster" program, where the diameter of the radiation is tightened for the last seven days of application. When completed, it was number 24 out of 30 days of radiation killing the remaining cancer cells left behind after surgery. With only a little math while laying under the equipment, I figured out that 80% of my treatments had been done successfully. If this were being graded, I would already have a "B". Now only six days of radiations until I get an "A" and get to go home!
Things are beginning to tighten up now, as meetings and sessions for the last week are being planned. Along with Avastin and blood testing on Monday, I'll meet with a tumor support group on Wednesday and have an MRI and cognitive test on Friday. By the way, when we read the results of my blood test this week, we saw that all but one of my points were within the standard criteria, and it was only a touch high. The doctor said that it was close enough that it might only represent a variance on my part.
Along with all of that, both daughters and a cousin will arrive over the next days. So the days will seem full and go quickly.
Hope you are having a good week as well...
Dennis and Faith
