'RADIATION AND CHEMO WEEK #1 FINISHED'

Week #1 of Radiation [IMRT] and Chemo has been completed.  Leif did well with the treatment. One morning he had ‘nausea’ from the treatment.  The headaches are down to a #1 pain level. Thank God. The ‘Incision areas’ still cause some discomfort and pain.  Leif is continuing to rise early and start his day with reading and nourishment.  He is continuing with his medication regimen to assist with the post surgery conditions.  Leif met with Dr. J. Breneman this week and reviewed the radiation treatment.  Dr. B. is involved with the setting up of ‘IMRT beam instructions and details’.  Dr. B. informed Leif that ‘95%’ of the tumor is gone.  The remaindering tumor will be treated with the ‘IMRT’ radiation and Chemo.  This week Leif will meet with Dr. Chaudhary who is involved with Hematology Oncology.  Dr. C. is part of the ‘Care Team ‘that is involved with Leif’s case. Leif is continuing with out-patient therapy, PT, ST, and OT.  He continues to structure his day to include exercise and other home therapy assignments.  Leif and Mom went to ‘4 Corners Church’ this weekend.  They met with friends following the service.  Leif is on the ‘Path to Recovery and Healing’ and is working hard at doing his part.
