2nd radiation update

Troy will start his radiation on Monday now. They have determined that there is a better outcome when the Erbitux is given a week prior to the radiation. Therefore, Troy is scheduled for Dec. 1st at 1:20 for radiation and his new end date is January 21st. He received the Erbitux today. We were at Dr. Goldsweig's for a few hours while the medicine dripped. He has been feeling crappy since he got home. He has a headache and chills. We're just giving him whatever he wants (i.e. chocolate pudding, lemonade, quiet time, etc.). He's a little (okay, a lot) cranky, but if he got through the 2nd round of chemo, we're confident that he will get through this and the radiation as well. I can't wait for it to start and then be DONE! Again, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
