Proton Beam Therapy link added

Karis found this link, http://www.proton-therapy.org/index.html, so I added it to the links on the right.

Trip to Boston has been changed to November

I just wanted to let everyone know about the schedule change for the Proton Beam Radiation in Boston. It was changed to November 1st. That may change again since this last round of chemo was delayed by one week. It could be moved back even further if future chemo treatments are delayed.

I just wanted to post this quick update because several people were asking about the trip and didn't know the date was changed.

Back at Moffitt on 6/11/2006

Heath was admitted back in Moffitt on Sunday, 6/11, to start his 3rd cycle of chemo. This round is the Adriamycin & Cisplatin. This is the chemo that is very hard on Heath. He hasn't been eating or drinking at all but he is getting a lot of IV fluids to keep him hydrated. He has been sleeping or trying to sleep since Monday morning because he feels so bad.

He was supposed to go in last Sunday but this round was delayed because the two previous rounds of Methotrexate caused his throat to so sore that he could hardly swallow. The doctors put him of some very heavy duty antibiotics. After about a week, his throat started feeling better. He could have gone in on Friday but a bed didn't open up until Sunday.

Sorry I haven't been keeping this blog updated. I'll try and keep it updated better going forward.

Please pray for Heath to bounce back quickly after this round. Also, he is scheduled to get an MRI scan of the tumor before the next round starts so pray the chemo is shrinking the tumor.
