Appointment with Dr. Danso (Oncologist)

Dad had his third appointment with Dr. Danso (Oncologist) today. There was a bit of confusion as to his treatment plan. Yesterday, July 7, Dad had a non-diagnostic CT Scan in Dr. Mehta's office. The results should be explained to Dad on Monday morning (July 14). At that time, hopefully, we will have a better understanding of when Radiation will end - When they are done with Radiation, Dad will receive 3 doses of Full Chemo (1 every week for 3 weeks) This will be stronger than the "Chemo-Light" that he has been receiving.

Tomorrow (7/9) Dad will return to Radiation to have the area on his chest re-marked to line up with the CT Scan results and his Radiation will resume on Thursday 7/10 - Since Dad did not receive Radiation today or will not tomorrow, he did not receive Chemo today. Hopefully, by the beginning of next week, everyone will have a better understanding of the treatment plan.

Please pray for perseverance, patience with the confusion between Radiology and Oncology and that Dad continues to stay healthy. He is doing well - Thank you so much for your prayers.
