Back in Houston for a spell

We got our trailer and us back in Houston, parked in the same site in the same RV park as last March. Almost feels like home. All the neighbors have changed, though. Even the park hosts are different.
Today we saw the Radiation Oncologist to discuss my treatment. No surprises. I will start treatments on Monday, November 15, for 3 weeks. The doctor didn't think I should suffer much as far as side effects, since the radiation will be away from major organs. He said the liver can endure more radiation than any other organ. I'll probably still have some fatigue, but that is a cumulative thing. It probably will get worse as my treatment progresses.
Since we don't have appointments for the next couple days, I guess we've got a little time to play tourist before getting down to business. I did forget some insurance papers which I will have to deliver tomorrow. Other than that, no commitments.

  1. Dad - Good luck and God Bless today with your first "zap" of the liver. I'm praying that the radiation totally eradicates those little cancerous bastards!

    Can't wait to see you in a little over a week!

    Love, Ben.
