Almost Done with Radiation!

Dad had his weekly appointment with the radiation oncologist today and they cut back his steroids again so now he is only taking them once a day. Since radiation has started, he's usually lost one or two pounds from week to week and this week he maintained his weight. The doctor also thinks that the leg is getting stronger and seemed impressed with the work Dad has done so far.

His last day of radiation is Monday, the 26th, so just five more trips down to Barnes and then the daily trips will be over! He will also have an MRI sometime within 4-6 weeks after his last radiation treatment.

Last week after one of Dad's treatments, we decided to make a stop at the STL Zoo and walk around. The animals weren't super active but it was a gorgeous day! We packed a lunch and ate by the lake and I was able to get my exercise in by pushing Dad around!
