Hi, Cindee. If you haven't already, petition your son's Doctors to write or call or give you letters to take to the "powers that be" about how vital it is to have him at home with 24 hr. caregivers. Radiation will probably make him feel really lousy and he will need help tracking his fluid intake and nutrition during rad. tx. This will be a major undertaking for your family unless he sails through radiation[most folks don't] He needs to be eating alot of good food now and getting adequate rest before this starts. I wish the best for you all. Amy
