Yesterday we went to the Cancer Clinic to set up Bryons radiation treatments. He had a CT simulation scan and got tiny tattoos so they will know where to do the radiation. Should start on or around the 19th and go for 3 weeks, 5 days a week. Tie this into 3 days of chemo and what do you have???????????Fun!!!!!!!Thank goodness we don't have anything scheduled for next week, he can rest and try to get his strength up. He has lost 20 lbs, food has no appeal to him but he does try to eat. Still has the major pain, none of the doctors seem to know why, went to our GP today and he upped his morphine, so it is that plus percocets. He can't walk without pain so any appointment are in the wheelchair.I can't even rant about this, it is just so hard to see Bryon like this. I know that things will get better but it can't be too soon for us.I have gone past the point of being tired,mentaly and physically, I never knew just how worn out a person could get, but it is all worth while. He also has another chest infection, don't know how he got it but is back on antibiotics. Still we are going to have a great Thanksgiving, Charles, Marnie, Kristina and the gkids are coming over. Maybe the smell of the turkey will get his appetite going. We do have so much to be Thankful for. We have great family all of them, Sherry, Dan, Tammy, Charles, Kris, Marnie, the gkids, and we have great extended family, and friends. Our neighbour Marj has been a godsend. In a few months this will be behind Bryon and I, it will always linger in our memory but the pain and the hard times will fade.
