Your information confuses me about his radiation also. He has not mentioned a mask being made and did not give me much info about the treatment itself. I know he will not be going back for a week. I also feel as you do that his stubborness may cost all of us the joy of having him here. He would not listen to his family and due to the fact that his Dad is recovering from a stroke he is adament that they do not discover his condition. Yes, you did read that he is still dipping. Has cut back from 3 cans a day to 1 and is scheduled to go to a treatment program at the end of the 10 weeks of methotrexate if he has not quit on his own by then. Drs wanted him to get off of it first, but he could not do it on his own and had no explanation for being gone for 2 weeks. Thanks for continued support. Teresa
