Today went well for the Radiation but had a little mishap with the appointment with Dr. Sinhu.  After the treatment the nurse is suppose to bring up your chart and put it on a cart for the doctor.  Well today they "forgot" to bring Randy's chart up front.  So we sat for 1 hour waiting....finally a nurse who was walking by came over and asked who we were waiting for.  Kind of a weird system as there is no "check in" place for your appt with the doctor!!  We now know what to do if they forget again and we know where to go to ask for help!! 

Not much was discussed today as it was only day 2 of treatment.  Randy is to start trying to drink some water every day to see if the esophagus is opening up.  Doctor told us it usually take most people 6 - 8 weeks for anything to happen.  But it could happen sooner just depends on how you react to the radiation.  The goal will be once they can remove the feeding tube they will start the process of setting up our consultation with the Oncologist to talk about Chemo.  Randy cannot start chemo until he can swallow pills.

I, on behalf of Randy and our boys, want to thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts.  This situation we are in is totally unbelievable and sometime unbearable but just knowing you all are out there praying for us warms our hearts. Even though the outcome is not positive we will take each day...each moment.... and savor it. 

Love to you all,

Kim
