First Treatment

David had his first radiation treatment this afternoon. We don't know how many sessions he will have until we meet with Dr. Butler on Tuesday. This week his treatment times are all afternoon, hoping next week he can be moved to morning sessions. They told us it was important to keep him at the same time everyday, don't know why. He will also be kept on the same machine, and have a CT scan done prior to every treatment. According to David, no pain (the balloon isn't comfortable-but doesn't hurt) start to finish time is about 20 minutes, including scan.
I am going to be able to take him twice a week, and he feels comfortable he can manage the other 3 trips.
David has said he might start posting, so you may get another update. If not I'll post what Butler tells us Tuesday.
Thanks for all the prayers we feel them.
