Tuesday's Update

Todd saw Dr. Malyapa today and he told him that we were officially almost done! YEAH!!! Of course, we knew that! He told him that we would more than likely not have to travel back to Jacksonville for follow-ups and that Dr. Wiseman-Neurologist here-could do them and then conference him in. The first scan would be done about 4-6 weeks after treatment and then a final scan at 8 weeks. Dr. Malyapa said that usually on the first scan there is no sign of change but the second scan is where most results are seen. Can't we just fast forward to the last scan? LOL.

Then he talked about Todd returning to work, which was originally scheduled for the 24th of March-less than a week after treatment ends. He told Todd that he would need more time to get himself back to normal. Apparently the protons still function for up to 6 weeks after treatment. Meaning that fatigue would still be very present. We are going to talk about this and look over a calendar this weekend. I definitely don't want him to rush. He needs to be feeling 100%-or close-before heading back to work.

All in all, things are on the downward slope. I am looking so forward to closing this chapter. Thanks to everyone who is saying a prayer. Keep it up!!!
