Josh had an appointment with Dr. Buck the radiation oncologist yesterday. I had classes so our friend Tommy took him. Once he gets his staples out (tomorrow) he will get a CT of the brain. They will make a mesh cover for his head. Radiation will begin about 10 days after the CT, they will need time to get the mesh thing made. The mesh thing will go over his head and will be screwed to the table. He will not be able to move his head so they deliver the radiation to the correct part of the brain. They are not doing whole brain radiation He will be getting 20 treatments, they will be low dose treatments so hopefully he won’t be get all the nasty radiation side effects. The radiation appointments will be quick, about 30 minutes per appointment.
We have any appointment tomorrow with Dr. Harron to get his staples removed…all 38 of them! Yeah..he had me count them and then wanting me to type it here so he could read this when he forgets. His short term memory is still lacking.
We have an appointment with Dr. Schertz on Friday to discuss additional treatments and figure out what IU wants to do next if anything.
