Doctor Appointment

Matt had a doctor appointment in Johnson Creek yesterday.  We talked about our Trip to Mayo Clinic and we talked about radiation to Matt's left hip.  Matt has been having continued pain in his hip.  He takes pain pills when needed but the pain has been getting worse.  The doctors at Mayo clinic opinion was for him to get radiation also.

Matt also met with Dr. Bethany Anderson about radiation.  She explained how it will help Matt and how to get started.  Matt had to get fitted for a "mattress".  He will lay on this each time he get radiation.  Today
he has a ct-scan on his pelvic to find the spot that he will have to get radiated.  Robin from Johnson Creek Cancer Center will meet Matt at Watertown Hospital for this CT-Scan.

Then Dr. Anderson will review the scan the have to tattoo Matt's leg where they will do the radiation.  Dr.
Anderson said the soonest they can radiated Matt's leg is next Thursday.  She is working on a plan with the
insurance company.  Matt has to have radiation and it has to be done four weeks before he can start the
clinical trial.  So everyone is working on the timing for everything to work out right.

Thank you to everyone one for all the continued prayers and positive thoughts!
