upcoming trip to Houston

My doctors at M.D. Anderson have all spoken and determined the best treatment path for the affected lymph nodes is to radiate first along with oral chemotherapy. I plan to have appx 28 treatments, adminstered once a day during the weekdays. I would not be getting radiation on weekends or holidays. My appointment with the Radiologist is Wednesday Dec 10th and I could start treatments as soon as Monday the 15th.

Once the radiation is complete I will rest appx 30 days and then they will attempt to surgically remove the affected lymph nodes. I will be back and forth to Houston several times over the coming months as all of my treatment will be at M.D. Anderson, not here in KC.

That's what I know for now.
