Yesterday we went to the Oncologist Dr. Harold Johnson. He was every kind but did not pull any punches. He made appointment with the radiologist a Dr. Whipple who will lead the charge of treatments. Most likely it will be 6 weeks of radiation and chemo every day. There is also a trial of a new drug that they will see if Delwin can do as with all trials we won't know if we are getting the real stuff or the fake stuff. With the both the radiation and chemo the odds change a little bit from an average of 15 months to two years. The chemo is in pill form and is called Temozolomide it is to work with the radiation. The good news was that Delwin can do what every he feels like doing. So he is hoping to go back to work at least part time. He has had work start sending him his emails so he can do some things from home. We see the radiologist next wed and then Dr. Johnson on Friday the 11th.
