Sandi had her second radiation treatment this morning. The docs
think that her severe chills last night could have been caused by the
radiation, but more likely caused by the cancer reacting to the first
treatment. In addition to the spinal tumor, she has numerous tumors on her stomach,
intestinal tract, liver, kidneys, etc., so they all get hit by spill over from
the focused beam. While they are concerned about what happened, they don’t
think it means she has to already stop treatment. That was a relief because things
were severe last night. At least they were not severe in the way we thought
they were.

As, pulling for the two of you and wishing the best.
That's supposed to be as always. Stupid fumble fingers!
I hear you. No worries. And thank you.
Yeah, great news! Especially if the cancer is reacting to the radiation. (Please disregard the following if it goes against your thinking on this: coconut water from health food stores does not interfere with chemo and radiation. It is an electrolyte , oxygenates the blood, restores the ANC count, white blood count, hemoglobin, platelets, etc).
The doctors treating her continue to strongly advise against coconut water for her as well as her fellow patients. Some have not listened and would up in far worse shape than they would have been otherwise.
