Nancy has just finished her third week of radiation and has two weeks plus a few days left. She is very happy with the new process at the radiation facility in West Chester. The entire treatment takes about 30 minutes. This compared to 2 1/2 hours at the original treatments at Christ Hospital. The new technology of the equipment in West Chester makes all the difference.
There are a few side effects; most notably she is fatigued all of the time. The radiation combined with the six month wound battle have taken its toll. The other side effect is a very sore throat as a result of the radiation around the throat. She has experienced a lot of back pain; likely a result of laying on the radiation table.
She feels well enough to drive herself to radiation. She was able to get out and do some shopping over the last two weeks. She also is able to get out and have lunch and dinner out with family and friends.
She is looking forward to completing the radiation and get rested up for the Holidays. Thanks again to all who have been so generous and for the many prayers she has received.
Bob
