Continuing Cancer Saga (Dad)
My dad is back in the hospital this week. Don't worry - it wasn't an emergency; this has been part of the plan for a while. His treatment plan after the brain surgeries included radiation followed by more surgery using a gamma knife. Apparently, the gamma knife is very precise and can zap the tumors without damaging the surrounding tissue. Within the next few days, he should have 1 - 3 sessions of mind zapping. It shouldn't be that bad for him since he already has a flap in his skull for easy access. This is probably one of his best chances for getting rid of most of the cancer, so it is a good thing. Plus, it should be less emotionally traumatizing to him too because they are only planning to keep him there about 4 days.
I don't have any deep or emotional thoughts to add to this. It is definitely on my mind & I am anxious to hear the results. I guess part of me feels that it isn't really happening. Another part of me is tired of all of the bad news and wants to believe there is nothing to worry about. Hopefully, I'm right about there not being anything to worry about (at least this week).

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
