Arrived in Boston

We arrived safely in Boston on Tuesday. We are very comfortable in our apartment.

The doctors told us previously that Heath will be getting Proton treatments as well as Photon treatments.

On Wednesday, Heath had blood labs and a simulation appointment. The blood labs showed that he has recovered very well and is ready to start chemo as soon as we can schedule it. The simulation was for the Photon treatments that will be given previous to the Proton treatments. The doctors had told us that Heath will be getting Proton treatments as well as Photon treatments but we weren't sure of the details until now.

On Thursday, Heath had his first Photon treatment. The Photon treatment is a high intensity x-ray.

Heath is scheduled for 9 more Photon treatments which are given Monday through Friday. The remaining Photon appointments are at 6:20PM. On November 2, he will start the first of 29 Proton treatments which are also given Monday through Friday. Heath will get 2 rounds of Etoposide/Ifosfamide chemo somewhere in between but they are not scheduled as of now.

We are supposed to meet with Dr. DeLaney once a week while we are here. Dr. Ebb is his Oncology doctor.

That's it to now.
