We went back to the Huntsman yesterday, to the Radiation department. They made Jared's mask for his treatments. Its like a wet cloth that they put over his face, and as it dried, it hardened to the shape of his head. Its got lots of holes in it so he can breath. But they will put this on him each time before treatment and bolt it to the bed, to help make sure he gets the radiation in the same place each time. Each treatment will last about 4-5 minutes. They are thinking he will have 30 to 35 treatments.
We will go back next thursday to have a run through and to discuss his treatment plan. Then his Chemo & Radiation will both start the following monday on December 20th.
Hopefully he will beable to tolerate having both together, every day, for 6 weeks.
