Henry begins his radiation today. Tara took him down to St. Casimir's last evening as his treatments begin early. Early treatments are welcome because he cannot have anything to eat or drink due to the anesthesia he must receive daily. Henry will be receiving radiation to his entire spine and head. They will give boost doses to what is called the 'tumor bed' and to the suspicious spot on his spine. The treatments take less than twenty minutes or so.
We are increasingly settled about the decision and have turned our attention now toward managing him as well as our family through his treatment schedule. This seems to be the typical cycle; head up to consider the big picture, head down to get it done.
