Kavan managed to make it through the entire work week despite having chemotherapy on Monday. He is my hero! He says there were some dicey moments that he fought the urge to be sick but overall, he felt quite well.
Today he had an appointment with the radiation oncologist. He needs 28 days of radiation. Wow. Just when I think things are quieting down, this news comes. He will start the radiation on week 15 of his therapy. We are currently on about week 6. He will go Monday to Friday for about an hour each day. Like his other therapies, the radiation does not come without side effects. Apparently, this will be much like an ongoing sunburn. I can only hope he does not suffer with any more than that.
According to the oncologist, Kavan requires radiation to treat the initial cancer site. Kavan's cancer has the greatest chance of recurring at the initial site and the radiation will hopefully prevent this. Fingers crossed that it will be done with after 28 days.
So this weekend we will relax in our little oasis where Kavan is well and ewings sarcoma does not exist. Happy weekend all...
