One week down 5 more to go! Delwin is doing really well with the treatments. He has not been sick and has been able to go into work several hours a day. We go down for the radiation in the morning and then he goes to work I go with him and read or nap until he is worn out then I drive him home. He rests for a little bit and works on the computer (work) until about 5:00pm then we get up in the morning and do it all again. We saw both Doctors and they seemed to be pleased with the first week. We will not know how it is effecting the tumor for at least a couple of months or longer. So we are still just one day at time but each day is a gift and a miracle which we are very thankful for.

Delwin has had two days of treatments. so far things are going well, he has been able to go to work after 6 hours on Monday and 31/2 at work on Tuesday with about 2 hours at home. Work has set him up so he can work from home when he needs to it is really wonderful. Tomorrow both treatments again and we see Dr. Johnson for a Blood test to check the white blood count. Only 40 more treatment to go!

Delwin went to both Dr.s Johnson and Riley on Friday. We go to the radiologist on Tuesday June 15th they will make a mask of Delwins face to hold his head very still and in the same place each time he goes for radiation. Which will be every day except Saturday and Sunday for six weeks. The Chemo will be in pill form and will also be taken every day for six weeks then about two weeks off and five days of chemo 3weeks off and so forth for a year. This should start Thursday June 17th. The Dr.s say that Delwin can do whatever he feels like doing. It is unknown how his body will react to the treatments so we hope that he feels well for along time. Toward the end of the treatments fatigue will set in and it will destroy the immune system. So we will take one day at a time. Today Delwin is feeling good and is able to do more each day.
