Randy had his first treatment today. All went well. Longest part was getting set up in the machine. He could feel nothing. We now go everyday for 9 more days, excluding weekends. We were given a list of prescriptions ahead of time in case of any side effects that may happen. They could start to show up 1 - 2 weeks after the final treatment. They only side effect right now would be fatigue as your body's cells recoup from the radiation. Our appointment is for 10 am tomorrow and after treatment we will meet with Dr Sinha, the Radiation Specialist.
Thanks for all your prayers to date.
