Good evening all:
Chemo consultation went very well. Dr. Maher spent over a hour going over every last detail of the procedure; what to expect, and what to ignore. We are both very comfortable with her and her staff. All of the newest procedures and technics are in play. The chemo will be by mouth, and she will take that at home every night. The radiation procedure will be at Southwestern Medical center (13 miles), and she will do that 5 days a week for about 6 weeks. There will be weekly monitoring of blood and other tests, including periodic MRI. Dr. Maher also indicated that she was prescribing medication for sick-to-the-stomach, and she says it is very effective. Tomorrow we go to the radiation specialist. We're told they will make a "mask" that will be marked for the "target" areas for the radiation.
Anxious to see how that goes. She will lose "some" hair from the radiation. (Only in spots)
That's it for now. More follows tomorrow after the radiation consultation.
Prayers work y'all! Thank you for them!
Bill
