First Week of Radiotherapy

Update posted by Maria Shiela Camba

Done with the first week of radiotherapy! So far, Cezar's taking things like the champ that he is. We go to the dentist tomorrow for a prophylaxis (for his dental clearance). After that we'll just stay at home to get some needed rest.

He ate by mouth today for the first time in almost two weeks (breakfast and lunch). He has lost some weight and is still nauseous and dizzy, but he's able to move his mouth more and more everyday.

He has stopped taking his rescue morphine pills (praise God) and although he is suffering from withdrawal symptoms, we are glad that his pain can now be controlled with fewer medications.

He spent more time in therapy today since the techs have started targeting the eye, forehead, and neck area (where the suspicious lymph nodes are). To say that Cezar feels exhausted is an understatement. But he is fighting and keeping a positive attitude.

Thank you everyone for always keeping us in your prayers. Please pray for us some more. God willing, Cezar's tumor will have shrunk enough (and ready for surgical removal) on our next scan/evaluation (day 20 or 25 of radiotherapy.)

Happy weekend everyone and may God bless us all!
