Treatment Update

Just a quick update. I am starting radiation treatments tomorrow Friday the 27th and if I don’t miss any I will be done Feb. 7th 2020.
They are avoiding as much as possible my old radiation areas and my throat, spine, mandible, etc. and just trying to do what is absolutely necessary to give me a good outcome and not cause any unnecessary damage and hopefully I will not lose my swallowing ability. I am not looking forward to it but they tell me it is a high probability of cancer coming back with no treatment. I am to get 30 treatments with the cyberknife. Thanks for all your prayers it is appreciated-Russ & Linda

Praying for a positive outcome and minimal side effects
Russ, I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts, I can't imagine going thru everything you have recently endured. Your one tough man. I'm praying the radiation treatment does the job and that your side effects are minimal. Stay strong and God Bless.
