Frank's Radiation Schedule:
Frank starts radiation.
Earlier today, Frank began his radiation treatment at Hoag Hospital. It was day 1 of 28 days (of radiation). So, only 27 more!
Frank started Chemo last night.
Last night, Frank started chemotherapy (for the third time). He had some slight nausea, but overall did great. He won't have to take it again for another six weeks. He starts radiation tomorrow.
UPDATE on Frank:
Today at UCLA, Frank's oncologist told us her plan to deal with Frank's brain tumor. He's going to do CHEMOTHERAPY (1 cycle every 6 weeks, starting immediately) and RADIATION simultaneously.
MRI today!
Right now frank is currently getting an MRI done at UCLA. Hopefully the tumor has NOT spread. He meets with the doctor in a few hours to talk about the next step.

Radiation Mask
Today, Frank got fitted for his radiation mask. He starts on July 31st. Fingers crossed.
Alkaline diet/water and vitamins.
Frank has decided to eat a high Alkaline diet, drink Alkaline water, and take various vitamins to help kick his cancer's ass.
UPDATE on FRANK:
On Wednesday, July 9th, Frank had his usual MRI at UCLA. Unfortunately, the MRI showed his tumor had grown and also spread to the other side of his brain. Not good! Since July 9th, Frank has met with a radiologist at HOAG and is waiting to figure out the next path to take in regards to treatment. He may do radiation, chemo, or something else. Whatever it is, Frank is determined to beat his Cancer, yet again!
