Dad completed his 6th Chemo treatment today. He will have 3 more days of radiation this week and then he will have a break!!! He will not have Chemo or Radiation next week (week of June 30).
On July 7 at 2:00 p.m. he will have a CT Scan in Dr. Mehta's office (non-diagnostic) and on that day he will have a "BOOST" treatment of Radiation - the treatment will be focused into a smaller area (field) - not greater intensity but a smaller area for a little longer period of time.
On July 8, Dad has an appointment with Dr. Danso (Oncologist) to get a new treatment schedule.
Dad's lab numbers were slightly lower but within an acceptable range.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Dad has tolerated treatment well with very few side effects. His attitude remains positive and he is still determined to continue with the treatment.
Mom and Dad are planning to travel to Illinois in mid-July for Tyler's Wedding (Grandson). Dad is feeling strong enough to make the trip and the Radiation Nurse said that they can plan his treatment around the trip. She felt it was important for Dad to attend this exciting family event. Mom and Dad are both looking forward to the wedding. Praise God that everything is going well. Please pray that the treatments are effective and that the side effects are minimal. Our God is GREAT!!!!
