I'm glad there is the option to do the radiation. We will include your family in our prayers and we will be watching the board for updates.
I remember being so impressed with how your 75 year old dad made it through radiation treatments so much better than my 48 year old husband. I am sure it might be tougher to endure a 2nd round so soon. Although, I'm thankful that your dad has you and your mom to help him through this.
