Fridays appointment with the ortho pa went well. We really liked him. Basically all he did was explain the surgery to us and try to decide when a good time to do it would be. He doesn’t want us to put it off long because Josh is at a big risk of it popping back out but we have to put it off until radiation is over. He did take an xray which showed that it is still in place….which we knew it was.
Josh had an appointment for a CT this morning, we won’t know the results of that until later this week. We are anxiously awaiting the call with the results. While getting his port accessed Josh happened to see Dr. Schertz who said that his tumor markers were still down and that his dilantin level was good. The dilantin level has to be therapeutic to prevent his seizures–the level needs to be about 9.5 and I think lower than 15. I’m not concerned with his tumor markers anymore..they were lower than ever just a few days before his last brain tumor.
This afternoon Josh got a call from the radiation oncology office, he will start his radiation tomorrow. He is kinda nervous about it. I will try to post again tomorrow night after radiation!
