Another update

Mom had her first appointment with the radiologist today. He threw her for a loop and suggested full blown radiation, rather than the seeding. He wants her to do radiation for 20 minutes a day, five days a week, for six weeks, starting on Nov. 30. She goes in on Wednesday for a CT scan to figure out exactly where to blast with the radiation.

This is a far cry from the one-time procedure of the radioactive seeding, but it is what he says gives the best chance of killing the cancer, so that's what she'll do.

That's all I've got for now. Thanks for reading and I hope you are all well.
