Radiation Day 2

Today is a good day!!! He feels good and is in good spirits. He had his second dose of Radiation this morning and it went well. He said it was SUPER easy and something he can for sure handle. It was a very quick procedure lasting no more than 15 minutes. He has to wear a custom mask that he will take home with him. I think we can have a mask breaking party when we conquer this mountain.
He had a great dinner last night and ate more than he had in a week!! We left the two alone for a romantic dinner in the room complete with flowers on the table and wine for mom. Thanks so much for all the food, snacks, reading material, and prayers!!
