Radiation

So Josh started radiation on Monday. I don't know how he does it. They made a molding of his head that they put over it during the treatment. Then they strap it to the table so he can't move. I have a hard time breathing just thinking about that..... Anyway it only takes about 5 minutes for the actual radiation. He said it isn't too bad. He has been fine so far, we will see how it goes. I think we can handle this after the Chemo. Hopefully it doesn't get too tender. But we will see. Thanks again to everyone that has helped us. Even if all you did was read our blog. It all helps more than you will ever know. We love you.

A light at the end of the tunnel....

Sorry, it has been a while. I thought I would be able to keep this up so everyone is always updated on Josh. So he had his scan and everything is gone!!!! So no more cancer. Josh starts radiation on Friday and he will have 16 treatments. They originally thought it would be 20 but we will take the 16. The dr told us that radiation is like an insurance policy. So even though the cancer is gone we still need to make sure it really is. The only side affects Josh will have with this is fatigue, but not like with Chemo more like he wont want to go out and mow the lawn so he will be with us instead of sleeping. He will be a little tender around the area they are treating and will have a sore throat, but they do have medicine they can give him if it gets too bad. We will definately take that over what the Chemo did. Thanks again for all of your support and prayers. We wouldn't be able to make it through this without it!! I will try to post something after Josh starts radiation to tell you what it is all about.
