Today we met with the Radiation Oncologist for the first consultation. Basically, the doctor just went over all the side effects that Ryan might experience. Tomorrow we go back to have a CT Scan done as well as have Ryan fitted for his MASK (to keep his head still during each treatment) fitted. The doctors will work on deciding where the beams of radiation need to be situated for the best results to be obtained...treatment should begin sometime around the middle of the week.
Ryan is doing well with everything and is focused on getting thru the treatment. He did ask the doctor if he would be able to go back to work after he is finished with the radiation, the doctor's reply "If you are feeling up to it!" So that definitely has given Ryan some encouragement and he is ready to get it over with. He is very bored being at home...and I think we are both adjusting to spending so much time together....although....I wouldn't have it any other way!!
Thank you to those of you who continue to offer support to our family.
