Radiation, Day One

Dave had his first session of radiation today. The radiation, itself, wasn't too bad, but Dave has been nauseated most of the afternoon. Anti-nausea meds seem to help though. He has lost a few more lbs, so he really has to concentrate on his eating and drinking higher calorie drinks. He says he just doesn't have an appetite, so tomorrow he will start on a medication to increase his appetite. We are hoping that helps. I had to buy him a new pair of jeans as he was having a hard time keeping his old ones up! We did find out today that Sept. 28th is his last radiation and we have an appointment with the doctor on Oct. 1st - looks like we will be home that week.
