Radiation is a Go

So we've had our consult with the radiologist and it was decided that Mike would start 8 weeks of radiation therapy.  Which means we will be here for Christmas so if you want to see us you need to make your reservation at Hotel Antram now.  His treatments will be every day except weekends and holidays.  Tuesday they will map out a treatment and then start sometime after that.  This is not the seeds/pellets.  This is the shoot em up, shrink em down kind.  So we hope anyway.

Radiation

So the doctor has not given us the information I wanted.  He simply told Mike that what he needs now is radiation to stop the growth of the prostate.  Yes, I know that makes no sense.  I'm all in here folks.  Mike is just happy that the bone scan came back clean and now they are saying the lymph system is clean.  He did not ask why they don't just remove the prostate and the tumors from the bladder if this is true.

No News

Still do not have the results of last week's tests.  Hopefully tomorrow.

So Scans are Next

Some days I just wonder WTF doctors are really thinking.  Do they actually believe their own nonsense?  Only one week later and it's up again to 7.75.  A false test result?  A temporary spike?  Bullshit.

So now we get the scans done on Thursday to get a better picture. Then next Monday it's back in so we can see where we go from here.
