Today was Marvins last rad treatment. He was really tired and had a rough start to the day. But he made it and we are now ready to let his healing begin. They told us that the rad would work for up to 6 more weeks. They will be leaving his tube in until they see he starts eating by mouth and gaining weight. It will be a nice change for him not to have to travel 120 miles round trip each day for awhile. I am sure he can use the extra travel time for rest here at home. We were told to make sure that he keeps getting enough cans down and extra water. He seems to be having alot of thick mucus today(which has caused him to not be able to keep his food down that we got in him) We hope that by getting extra water in him this may help with the thick stuff. He thought he would sleep in a recliner so that he isnt laying down to see if that helps him. He had a total of 40 treatments.
