Sept. 4, 2014 More Radiation....

We spent the entire day today at the Huntsman Hospital.  And although it is not my favorite place to be I am so thankful it is as close as it is for us!! Ron met with a new radiation doctor, Dr. Lloyd, who we both really liked.  He is new to the radiation unit and very good!

Turns out the spot they are going to be doing the radiation on is the same one they did it on before.  They sometimes don't get it all or it just doesn't work and they have to do it again only better.  So he will have to have it again only more days this time.  Because it did in fact grow bigger. Dang!

So Ron goes back in tomorrow for a day of what they call "planning and mapping"  they will mark the location take more scans and do all that needs to be done so that on Monday they can begin the radiation.  It will be for 10 days Monday-Friday each day for 2 weeks.  And again I'm so thankful that we live close.

After all the "radiation stuff" it was upstairs for his bone infusion and iron.  Kinda funny that he does this bone infusion once a month to stop the cancer from getting in his bones,  but he is having radiation on Monday for cancer that is in his bones (haha) When I said that to the doctor he agreed, but also said if he wasn't having the infusion the bones could be a whole lot worse!!! Have to find the blessings in all things!!!

We are home now and glad to be! Will be in bed early for an early day tomorrow.  If they let me go in the room with Ron for some of the time for the mapping I will take pictures.  As for now Happy September to you all!! Fall is in the air!!
