Radiation

Ok - today is session 1 of radiation. Wilms protocol calls for 6 doses of radiation, and rohans tummy looks like a map of hidden treasure with X's and Circles all over. The internet is a curse at times - too much reading, too much info and my head is swimming with facts that i hope i never have to witness. Radiation can cause sores?! In the mouth and esophagus???!! yikes. Anyhoo - made the trip across town in peak traffic to emory, waited in 2 different rooms, BP, HR etc taken and then Ro had to be put to sleep using a face mask. Oh boy - he kicked and fought, but was finally out. The radiation itself is just a couple of minutes. He was pretty loopy and sick all the way home, but a dose of zofran at home took care of the nausea. My fault for not giving him any before we got to the hospital - lesson learned.. You Dont Mess With the Zofran
