2 weeks after the 33rd radiation treatment

Frank is done!! yeah  He is in good shape. He has some fatigue, not severe. No nausea, he did lose 12 pounds, but I think that is because there was only Mexican food in Colima. He eats well here at home. He did get a small radiation burn on his buttocks, but I was able to get rid of the pain, and it is almost healed. His attitude is great. The PSA is at 29.4, which is higher due to radiation. (Remember it started at 212).  The doctor is happy. They still wanted him on hormone shots every three months, which in Mexico cost about $1600 US. Frank decided to get the orchiectomy  for $400 USD.  Whatever he decides I will support. I was able to keep the side effects away, he is happy.  Post-op he will have no pain also. He wants to live without metastasis for as long as he can, and so do I.
