WEEK 2! Yeah! We are doing good. We now are down to 33 treatments. Today's went very well. We were warned that sometimes Mondays can be hard. Being allowed to eat somewhat normally on the Friday and Saturday can also be very hard on the system. Sundays he goes back to eating the "special diet" with lots of water. Well Major did pay somewhat on Sunday but he is a very fast learner and was very careful all day Sunday. Well it paid off because so many guys were having a rough time and Major sailed right through it and even got finished in less than an hour! That's dang good!! We stopped and took a picture of the MD Anderson Proton Center where we are going to be spending 5 days a week for awhile. Thought you might like to see where we are. Major mentioned that he has a schedule for 36 treatments and thought we'd be going home on October 29th. However they informed him that was a mistake and he needed to go back to the therapist and get his "new" schedule which includes 2 more treatments and probably won't get to leave until November 6th. We will find out for sure tomorrow. Major thought maybe because his cancer is a little more aggressive than some of the others his treatments are a little more "zap" and he needs only 36. ha ha not going to happen. There are 2 treatment rooms for prostate cancer patients. Room 3 and Room 4. Most of the guys he's met go to #4 while he get his treatments for the more aggressive ones in #3. However there are a few who have a gleason scale above 7 and they are worse off so we are grateful for that. I think I mentioned I would be making 29 blankets for Christmas for my kids and grandkids. Well I am making progress too! As of tonight, I have completed 8 blankets. I was thinking if I could get one done every 2 days I'd get finished by the time we left here. I am ahead of schedule!!!! Yeah I'm pretty happy. We are also getting alot of reading caught up on, well Major is. I am just getting started!! Love you All
