Major now has his first treatment under his belt! I think he was really dreading it mostly because he didn't really know what to expect. There are sooooo many things he has to do. Getting him ready for the treatments each day takes just about an hour and the actual treatment takes about 25 minutes. He has to drink around 36 oz. of water an hour before and "hang on to it." Then the "getting ready" begins and finally the treatment which consists of many x-rays and the actual radiation (proton). It blows my mind that he has daily x-rays but this is to insure that they treat all the right spots. Also it's their way of "inspecting" the results of the radiation to makes sure it's doing what it is supposed to do. Sorry to ramble but don't know how else to tell you what is happening. I am playing the waiting game. I go to the proton center with him and wait with all the other "cancer wives" as they tell me they call themselves. I decided I would pass my time by making fleece blankets for Christmas for the grandkids and their parents! I only have 29 to do. Started the first one today and got it 2/3rds done. Hope I can keep it up. All in all we are doing great. Major says it was very uncomfortable but not as bad as it could be. His attitude is amazing!
