No Reaction to Second Treatment

by karenulijohn

After Harvey had his second radiation treatment yesterday, we were watching to see if he would experience any swelling on his face or neck.  I am happy to report that there was none.  He did have a little redness in the nose area, but nothing extreme.  So far, he feels very good, although he was surprised that he slept for an hour or so yesterday afternoon.  I wasn’t surprised.  I was under the impression he did that every day.  He will have his next treatment on Friday morning.

As an aside, we went to the CA State Fair this morning and walked around for several hours.  It was really fun and we love the exhibits.  I was particularly taken by the beautiful quilts that were on display.  It is hard to imagine the amount of work that goes into producing one of these works of art.  Harvey enjoyed seeing the robots that are used by the Navy in Afghanistan and Iraq.  He wanted to have a hot dog for lunch but refused to pay $7.95.  I was happy.  We ended up at The Fountains and had a lovely lunch.  I want to believe that if I just don’t worry, things will come right in the end.
