Update on Larry's IGRT

29 days down and 10 to go. All is well except for the fatigue. It started
to bother him about a week ago and it's getting a little worse every day.
Nothing that will interfere with his regular work day, but he's certainly
wrung out when he gets home in the evening. He's drinking tons of water and
doing lots of yard work in 100+ degree heat so he's exercising. ;o)
Looking forward to the last day and then to his first post radiation PSA
reading.

Hope everyone has a super weekend.

Jean ... in VERY hot Houston.

Hi Jean,

Last year kevin had 44 IMRT sessions and the last couple of weeks the
fatigue set in. Seems to be the normal patter for most people. Good luck
on the first PSA.

But it's a dry heat. :-)

Remember, it is probably more important that he stays hydrated than he
exercises. And, I believe cardiovascular exercise is more important during
RT than working in the yard. But, most important is that water!

Not really a dry heat in Houston ... it's called 'hot, humid Houston' for a
very good reason. LOL!

Larry is drinking lots and lots of water ... more than ever. He's staying
well hydrated. )
