This morning, I had my 10th of 28 radiation treatments. The radiation oncology doctor tells me that, regardless of the effectiveness of these treatments, there won’t be anymore due to the sensitive location of the tumor, among vital organs. He said, even using the best treatment plan he can devise, one of my kidneys is still having to be hit with the
x-rays. The good news is that I have a second kidney that can compensate for any reduced functionality of the other. Most days I experience some pain for a few hours following each treatment; however, it’s not major.
Tomorrow, Thursday, I’ll have the 3rd weekly chemotherapy treatment. The doctors have been warning me of impending nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that is likely to occur, and gave me medications to counteract those issues, if they occur. Thankfully, the ill side effects have been at a bare minimum, almost nil!
