Today was the weekly meeting with Justin's doctors. They checked with him on several things. What is your pain level? Do you have any skin problems at the radiation site? Are you getting nausea? Are you losing hair? How do you feel? Do you have any fatigue? Then they did a quick look at his scalp and saw no problems.
The doctor shook his hand and said, "this is rather boring and that is the way we like it." And that was it until next week.
We walked at the mall and then saw a movie before supper. It was fun to get away and laugh our heads off.
Justin gained a pound since last week. Now he has lost 60 lbs since April instead of 61. That is fine with me. He is eating and walking and not spending all his time sitting or sleeping.
One of the gals here asked me what level of radiation Justin is taking. I guess there are differing strengths or something. If I remember, I will ask next time. At this point, I figure the doctor is giving him the right amount, so it is not a priority. I suppose if he was sicker, I would worry it was too strong or not strong enough.
Some days, NOT knowing some of these things is OK.
