After finishing five full days of radiation, things seem to be going well. Tomorrow mom will be going to see her main oncologist, Dr. Ostrovsky to discuss the PET scan results and progress of the radiation.
The good news is the radiation treatments are quick and painless, but unfortunately mom has begun to lose some of her hair from the treatments. She's planning on a getting a short cut to make it easier to maintain as she continues to lose hair throughout the remaining 9 treatments. Thanks so much to Mary for taking her to 4 of the 5 treatments, and to everyone else for signing up on the calendar to help out over the upcoming two weeks.
Mom is also trying to maintain a nutritious diet full of protein and fruits and veggies, which is a huge step away from her normal diet of Hershey bars and hoho's :) but I step in the right direction. Every time I've spoken with her she seems in good spirits and completely lucid which is also great.
Hopefully I'll have some more info tomorrow after the Dr's appointment so check back for the latest :)
