seems there was some kind of misunderstanding and my father in law actually has 8 more treatments...a whole week more than we had thought.
Also, he's having headaches again...horrible, painful headaches...and dizziness, along with nausea and vomiting. This isn't good. They put him back on the steroids which have their own side effects.
We spoke with the oncology radiologist's nurse about a follow up scan, and she said that they are so *confident* in the effectiveness of the treatments that they do not do that. He is over halfway through the treatments and having headaches and dizziness...but even if they did a scan I'm not sure there is anything that they could do.
We ask for continued prayers for him, and my mother in law. Her health isn't good either.
