Thanks for praying! We are home from the hospital, but absolutely exhausted. We got up at 4:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning to be at the hospital by 6:15 a.m. He was discharged this (Thursday) morning, but then we had to go to the clinic. We finally got home at around 10:00 a.m. We have not had much sleep at all, so I'm not sure how coherent I am.
61 seeds were implanted. There was some breaching of the encapsulation, which means that some of the cancer was outside the gland. So glad that Danny did not opt for surgery. The doctor placed lots of seeds around the breached areas, so the radiation should take care of it.
Danny is feeling pretty good aside from being so tired from "trying" to sleep in a hospital. If you've ever had a stay, you know that somebody is poking and prodding on you every few minutes - day and night. He didn't have to use any of the pain medication, so that's a very good thing!
He will have to come back at the end of December for 10 more radiation treatments. I've heard that Florida is nice in January, so that should be a good time to come down.
Our plans are to leave for home on Sunday, 9/27.
I cannot express to you in words how much the support of friends and family has been to us while we've been away. Thank you SO much!
Love,Donna and Danny
