One week complete

October 23:  Today marked the end of the first week of radiation for Nanette.  She started the first real treatment last Thursday and so one week of the six required is completed.  She has not had any nausea from taking the chemo pills and she's handling that part very well.  The radiation doesn't take long and she has tolerated the first week without any problems.  She is aware that side effects will probably occur the longer she goes with the treatment.  Sergio, Jared, her dad and I were invited to visit the room where the radiation takes place.  We got to see the mesh mask they place on her face and the huge radiation machine that rotates and beams the radiation on to the marks on the mask.  No one is allowed in the room while the radiation is taking place.  The two technicians observe the entire process from a separate room and watch her on monitors.  The staff at the Huntsman satellite office are extremely informative and helpful.  For the present time, Nanette  is feeling fairly well.  She gets up in the morning, showers, dresses and functions well all day long, only really tiring later in the day and evening.  She's been fixing dinner at night, although it hasn't been labor intensive meals and she loves taking care of her family.  She loves to take all your calls and enjoys visiting with everyone who visits or calls.  A big thanks to all those women who have provided transportation for her girls to school, church activities, and play dates.  So many of you have helped in so many, many ways.  Please know you all have our deepest appreciation
