Andy received his tenth and last directed radiation treatment for the sites on his back, ribs, and neck on Wednesday AM then proceeded to get green-dyed chemotherapy. A little bit shorter this time as he did not receive the bone strengthening medication (which is prescribed on a 6 week cycle) and less of the second line drug. And, true to form, he requested that it be dyed green in honor of St Patty's day.
Wednesday night and Thursday were fairly rough, as expected. Andy was pretty sick both days, exhausted and in a bit of pain due to the radiation. He slept a little bit better last night, and is hoping to eat today.
On a lighter note, Andy's Brother-in-Law in South Africa saw the 'Bald Andy' photo and created this cartoon:
Happy weekend all!Tim
A lot of us are going through this right along with Andy and his family! I have know ppl who have had to go through this. It is ravaging and besides prayer, which is uber important, humor helps!
ReplyDeleteI love the Simpsons cartoon! It looks just like Andy!
The sunshine may make him feel a bit better and friend in my head, you will prevail...
