Treatment update

Hello all: After Thomas had his appointment yesterday (Apr 25th), no radiation yet. The docs only set up things to do the radiation. Marked off areas on Thomas and made some kind of a mold to focus on certain areas. The markings can't be washed off, so he's having to be careful when he bathes. His radiation will not start til after he gets his staples out Monday, he will then go thru 10 days of radiation on his back, not sure of actual date they will start, will probably be in the next week or so.

He also found out he has a yeast infection in the back of his mouth, doc said it was from taking the steroids which is one of his medications he taking right now 4 times a day. So he's got some more medicine to rinse his mouth 4 times a day to cure this. One more thing to contend with, minor though.

He and Stacie are going to go home for a couple of days next week (Thursday or Friay) to get things hopefully worked out with his employer about getting moved back to Tennessee. We are keeping our heads up and keeping the faith to get Thomas through what may come. Thanks to you all and please keep Thomas in your prayers.
Love
Pat
