Well, it has been a while, so here goes.
I did have radiation for 28 weekdays in a row. That finished on 4/1/2011.
Since that time I have had CTscans and MRI's.
These have found a growth on the back of the brain, a growth around the muscles behind my right eye (always droopy) and a blood clot on my lung.
1. Growth in brain. I underwent Gamma Knife Surgery on 5/19/2011 to correct that. Results will not be certain for another month. They had to screw a mask into my head to hold the head still for the procedure (4 screws).
2. Growth behind right eye. I am currently undergoing radiation for ten days to correct this issue. Will know about success the same day we get results for the brain issue.
3. Blood clot on lung. To dissolve this, my bride gives me a needle in the stomach every morning. Not exactly sure how long this will continue. Might be for six months. If weren't for Patricia, the needle would not happen (I HATE NEEDLES).
Wish there was some more upbeat news to report - OH WAIT - Joe and Sarah are expecting our first grandchild in December. This is the GREATEST news we could have received lately.
Thank you and God Bless ALL.
