Testing and Radiation

Off to tenth radiation session followed by PET scan today. Post chemo nausea and vomiting hit Pop yesterday so he is back on the Compazine. (There are dietary restrictions prior to a PET scan--high protein, no carbohydrates or caffeine---then throw a dose of vomiting on top of it all and you get a cranky ole sick guy.) First, it seemed they were doing nothing----now they can't order enough tests. The PET scan will give information if chemo and radiation have been beneficial.

Our next medical outing will be Wednesday---lab and appointment with Dr. Moore to review PET/lab testing and discuss progress.

Good thoughts and prayers requested for Pop.

Love,
Mom
