HOME!

After a quick (sanctioned) escape this AM to get a CT scan across the street, Dad is officially home in Elkhorn.    He gets pretty tired quickly after being in bed for nearly five days, but he's home.

Treatment officially starts Monday afternoon.  The "mask" has been molded that will hold the head still during treatment.  Interpreting what Dad said to me earlier today, that experience ranked second only to having the frame attached for his biopsy a few weeks ago.  Neither were pleasant.

Chemo/Radiation in combo for the next 6 1/2 weeks.  We're all hoping for minimal side effects on both.  The blog should take a bit of a breather until treatment kicks in, so don't panic if you don't hear from us.  :)

Butch, thinking of you today. Byron
Battershell asked me if I knew about
your condition. That brought back
quit a few high school memories. Hope
you didn't think you were running the
440 when you went after the ice cream at the nurse's station. Our prayers
and thoughts are with you. Take care
and God Bless, G.Kent Swanson
