Salute to Gwohann for completing the full course of WBRT today! The radiology team gave him his radiation mask to commemorate his bravery and a congratulations award to honor his perseverance.
He has also joined the group of bald and beautiful men and women, who are freed from the worries of hair styling, graying hair, thinning hair, and, the 'bad hair day'. More importantly, his feelings of freedom have manifested in many other aspects of his being as well, as he continues to practice 'let go and let God', which includes spending more time in prayer, letting go of the urge to drive, and eating whatever I present him with :-)
Thank God Gwohann has tolerated the radiation well. The only visible side effects are rashes that have developed on his face and neck, which steroids have helped to control. Following our radiologist's advice to keep his brain active, he continues to work, do sudoku, and with my value proposition of hand-eye coordination, help do dishes too. Whether it is the stimulating brain games that he is doing or the Memantine (medicine to protect his brain) that he is taking, he seems to be getting smarter!
Now that we are done with the WBRT, we will resume the chemo this Friday. Please pray that chemo will continue to work and kill cancer cells in every part of his body.
Thank you for your love and care!
Gwohann & Jacqueline
