Journal entry by Jaime Kasowski —
Leah had her appointment with the Radiation Oncologist today.
As expected, she will need all over brain radiation treatment as she has over 20 lesions on her brain. There will be 10 treatments over 2 weeks, starting on Monday.
They are starting her on medication for Alzheimer's, this is meant to help with the possible side effect of short-term memory loss. She will also likely feel tired and lose her hair but was told she will be able to take herself to and from appointments.
