Dad went to the RO Monday and they have decided that radiation will help shrink the tumors and provide some relief. Today he had the simulation and radiation is scheduled to start August 11th. He will have 15 treatments at the most.
He's very weak and continues to get weaker every day. In two weeks it may be impossible to get him out of the house and to the hospital for radiation an hour away.
We should have the results of his PET scan soon. Just waiting on the doctor to call with an appointment time.
Other than that I don't know much. Thank you all for your PM's and words of support. They really help.
Hugs,
Joy
