Kristy's Story...Just Our Luck

Michael was ready to go for his fourth radiation treatment when the phone rang. It was Eric from the Siteman Cancer Center saying the radiation machine (Gamma Knife) is broke. So they had to reschedule for this Friday morning, if the repair is finished. He will also see his chemo doctor Friday because he was approved for the Avastin drug. He will get that injection after the radiation Friday and every two weeks thereafter.

Michael has had some issues with his treatment but nothing serious. Mainly getting dizzy and/or sick to his stomach. He lost two of his Temadol chemo pills due to being sick. He takes two at a time three times a day for five days. Then he goes off the pills for three weeks then another five days on. His prescription is for eighteen months, sounds like a long time to be on chemo...but if it works we'll take it.
