dchurchi Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hello my family, I wanted to give you and update on how Alan is responding to radiation. He had a quick scan today to see how the tumor is responding and I am happy to report SHRIKING The radiation field had be reset to a smaller field because the tumor has shrunk dramatically. Alan is having the typically radiation side effects, the worst being fatigue, but those are small issues. Alan should finish radiation on Feb 22nd with PET/CT to follow 4-6 weeks later. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trish2418 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 That is great news, Debbie! I'll pray that the remaining radiation treatments knock the tumor for a loop. Take care of yourself and Alan. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Debbie, That is great news! May all those bad cells be blasted away for good. My husband is also going through radiation and is experiencing a dry irritating cough as well as fatigue. May it get no worse for our dear hubbies.

Sheri Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This is great news Debbie! I'm glad Alan's supra node can be resolved with radiation. My Dad had chemo and his butt is still whipped but he had a suspicious nodule in the lung also. Tell Alan, it's great to read his success story and we're confident he will continue to be a success!

marym Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi Debbie, I'm glad to hear Alan is responding. Radiation can really wipe you out - and it continues after the treatment ends. But if the results are there, it's worth the fatigue. Hope things continue to go well for you and Alan. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
