Day 15 Proton Therapy

Dale got an early call today, so he and Jackie dropped everything and raced to the Proton Center for treatment at 10:30am and then waited an hour or so for Dale's second Mapping Simulation. This mapping was to re-assess the location and size of the tumor to tweak the proton beam aperture. Tomorrow afternoon, Dale will meet with Dr. O'Reilly for his 'Weekly See' and then have his regular treatment.

Missy is flying in from Colorado Springs tomorrow for a few days. She'll be driving Dale and Jackie to their appointments on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! Glad to have her here!!!!!!

Dale still appears to be handling the treatments well. While he coughs some, his esophagus hasn't become a big issue and he doesn't appear to be fatigued. Fingers crossed that things stay that way!
