Another pretty good day today although the low-level headaches are persisting. I had to take some Tylenol a couple of times today just to be comfortable, but it appears that I will be increasing the Decadron to the full dose (1 tablet) tomorrow as recommended by the doctor/ nurse to control the swelling around the radiation site. The terminology that they use is, "the treatment site is insulted by the radiation".... kind of peculiar, but strangely fitting.
Other than that, we went out for a bit and my energy level was OK. Got a few things done around the house as well. If we can just get these headaches under control, it should help a lot.
Yesterday, we went out for some bowling with the kids and had some fun doing that. Ashley was the big winner for the day!
Back to the routine tomorrow and with the kids all in school, Tracy will be able to accompany me to treatment for the first time... Mucho excito!
Peace out. Ric
