07/14/09 - Radiation Series #3 Over

Posted 07/21/09. As I mentioned in the title, Radiation Series #3 ended about a week ago. In this context, I intend for "Radiation Series #3" to include the immediate 20 previous treatments given to me nearly every day in the past month. Series #3" to hopefully set this third series of radiation apart from the two other radiation treatment series I have had over the past three years...

Next Steps? Likely to include a new session of chemotherapy treatments to keep my disease from spreading, and hopefully kill it all together. In a couple of weeks, I have an appointment at Moffitt hospital ("H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center"-the proper name) to check MRI images of how the tumors reacted to the radiation. After that, I should meet with my Neuro-Oncologist there and determine what the best type of chemo drug, and dosage for me. For all intents and purposes, Laura and I should be free of medical appointments, although she does have a dentist's appointment this afternoon.

As for me, I still plan on submitting more details about radiation treatments,soon. I have a lot to talk about...
