Almost done with radiation

Today was Heather's fourth radiation treatment. She is very tired. She threw up three times last night. It is concerning since that was what she was doing prior to her hospitalization and it was caused by the pressure in her head. Her brain swelled from radiation and she ended up in the operating room having emergency surgery. The tumors are gone that were contributing to the swelling and part of her bone is shaved down to allow for the swelling during this round of radiation. But we are expecting her brain to swell despite the steroids. We just have to hope that her head and brain can accomodate all this swelling. Good thing is that she is stil alert and oriented. We will keep our eye on her and hope there is no more vomitting. She has her final treatment tomorrow and then we meet with the oncologist on tuesday. I am wondering what he will say to us and what her chemo regimen will be. Everyone at the radiation place is so surprised by how good Heather looks and how well she is doing.
