Today (Monday) Les had his 3rd radiation treatment. They are tolerable, but make him tired. I guess he took a lap around the hospital floor, and walking is better. The oncologist believes we are dealing with small cell carcinoma, but still waiting for more results. If it is small cell carcinoma (a more rapidly spreading cancer), chemo may start as soon as Wednesday. He will be getting a port possibly tomorrow for this purpose. If chemo begins, the levels of radiation will need to be decreased and stretched over a longer period. We are thinking he may go to Aunt Judy's for the immediate future...we'd like to see him a little more steady on his feet. Still not sure when they'll let him go...maybe Tuesday or Wednesday.
He is truly touched by all the wonderful cards and visits from so many people. Thank you so much for caring and please continue to pray for good health and spirits.
