He did it!! He made it thru his treatments. A whole 6 weeks of radiation, and 4 weeks of chemo! As most of you know, by keeping up with my updates, it has been a rough 6 weeks...or at least 4 of them have been. There were a few times where he was ready to give up and just say no to it all, but with a little pushing and shoving....we got him thru it. Yesterday was the final Radiation treatment.....so now its time for the healing to begin!!
We still won't know if any of this did any good, for about another 3 months when they have him go in for a scan to check it out.....but for now its time to try to get back to the norm. He's still in a lot of pain, with his mouth and throat, but now that the treatments are done, hopefully it will get better. Its a horrible way to do it....but he's lost 70lbs, which definatley doesn't hurt. His face has healed pretty good, still no hair, but it will come back. He feels weak, and tired...but wouldn't we all if we hadn't eaten in 5 weeks? He is gradually drinking more and more fluids everyday, so as long as he keeps up the good work with that, it will help.
We all took this one day at a time.....just like dad said we would do. And as we wait and find out how the treatments helped...or not helped...we will continue to take it one day at a time, because thats all we can do. I thank you all for the support and the prayers. God has definatley been watching out for us and keeping us all strong!
