Radiation Consult

Well we went in for Thomas's radiation consult on Feb. 8Th. His radiation Dr is this cute Japanese lady named Ying Hitchcock. They went over everything with us and told us what to expect. They said he will need radiation Mon-Fri for 6 1/2 weeks. They said they need to make a mask for thomas's face so that during radiation his face wont move, they said its very important that his head doesn't move during the treatment. They said Thomas cancer has a 50% chance of returning, which really makes me nervous, and they also said that radiation can cause a secondary cancer down the road. But, guess we just have to deal with one step at a time. They said they don't want to start radiation until the skin in his mouth has healed more, they said they will start in about 3 weeks. Oh- and also i think i forgot to tell everyone that when we went to see the reconstructive surgeon last week he told us that Thomas's cancer was so rare and they haven't seen a tumor like his since 2004!! We Love you all! Here is a few recent pictures
