This was a week of recovery for Nancy. The chemo and surgery are over and she has a few weeks to rest up before radiation begins.
She had the drainage tubes removed from the surgery on Tuesday of this week which makes her much more comfortable.
We have an appointment Thursday with the radiologist who will put markings on her where they will radiate. They do their best to keep the radiation away from the heart and lungs.
Part of the process is to be fitted for a mold for her to lay in so the radiation hits the exact areas the doctor wants to treat consistently over the five to six weeks. She will be radiated five days per week for this period.
The one open question is when she can start back on her eye medication. The doctors have to reach a consensus on the risks/rewards of the medication while she is being radiated.
Thanks to all for the prayers, food, gifts,cards and visits; they are all very much appreciated.
Bob
