Hello Everyone!
Well- quick update.... George is currently undergoing radiation therapy for his hip area again. The most recent bone scan did show a good bit of progression and after a couple MRI's it was determined he would need to do some radiation. He also started getting some increased pain, so he was quite anxious to get started.
He is on week 2 of a 3-4 week course. He goes in once a day to get "zapped". We are actually pretty happy about the form of radiation treatment he is getting this time- it is called tomotherapy. It is supposed to be the cutting edge of radiation- it is very precise, and can be used to retreat areas (which is what his situation called for).
After this treatment, he will also do a round for his leg- there is a spot on his femur that needs attention.
Overall, however- he feels pretty good! He is noticing less discomfort since starting the radiation, so that is encouraging.
All you can do is just keep trucking along, dealing with things as they pop up, and just hope for the best!! His attitude is great!!
Keep him in your prayers- and me, too.

ReplyDeleteHi Dave! What "brand" do you have?? I will be updating this soon- we've had some developments and I just haven't had time to update, plus things are still up in the air so until we have a set plan I don't really want to do the official update.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is doing well- he feels pretty good. Still a bit whipped from the radiation, and some pain, but overall, much better.
Thanks!!! You take care of yourself.
