Round 2

The second radiation treatment went well - took a bit longer this time as a slight hiccup (a real one) halted the radiation. Because the radiation is so precise and the area covered is so sensitive, any movement at all stops the radiation beam. The beam then has to be re-transmitted, so due to that slight movement, it took just over an hour for the whole process to be complete.
The Doctors were glad to hear that my Dad has been able to stay active and is enjoying playing so much golf. They are pleased that he doesn't seem to be letting this diagnosis beat him down. The ability to stay positive is an important component of fighting cancer and it has without doubt helped that so many of you have provided encouragement and support in cheering my Dad on through this journey - it certainly goes a long way toward keeping his spirits up!
