Went to the consult with Dr. Rine at Wesley Medical Center today. He wants to start Michael on his radiation therapy starting on Monday. He will have to have it at the same time daily for 10 days. If it works, they will quit there and if it isn't they will do an additional 3 doses. The doctor says that he will not lose his hair or get sick.
We asked him why he was consulted to look at Michael. He stated that sometimes radiation takes care of pain also. So the doctors at the VA have sent him there for the pain issue rather than the mass in his lung and also in the lymph node near the lung.
The doc said that they will just watch the tumors in his lung and lymph node for right now. He also stated that the hormone therapy was done just last month so it is too soon to see if it will be working.
Continue to pray for Michael as he needs all the prayers that he can get. He is having swelling in his legs and is in constant pain. He is having problems walking now. The VA still hasn't gotten the scooter lift attached to the truck. We are waiting now for that to be done before we can get the scooter from the VA.
Michael found a chair that he would like to have. It is a lift chair with massage and heat. The company that is putting the scooter lift in the truck has it there in the office. Normal price on it is about 2200.00. We are going to call him on Monday to see if we can get a discount on it if we pay cash for it. Who knows? It might work.
Take care and God Bless.
Lynn & Michael
