Radiation treatment has begun. Each day is filled with new experiences and a continued absorption of knowledge. There are many new questions that pop up daily and the answers are sometimes vague or unanswered because the answer depends on many variables. We are still waiting for his oncologist Dr. Dekker to return our call inquiring as to when his chemotherapy will begin. From what I understand, his radiation and chemo treatment must be done together in order to get the maximum effect in fighting his cancer. Dealing with the doctors can be so frustrating!!!!
Day #1 - His first day of radiation went smooth. Dad was very nervous and anxious as to be expected. Radiation appointment took approximately 15 minutes... very quick. We don't expect to see any side effects from radiation so soon... I believe maybe by week 2 he will start to feel discomfort. Again, there are so many variables to consider so we will just have to wait and see and pray for the best.
