It comes in threes, Right?

Where oh where to begin. Alexs' cancer decided to come back, He went in on Tuesday to get his Radiation treatment and everything went well. Its always kind of freaky when the doctor quarantines him in this little room about the size of a coat closet and then brings out this big egg shaped metal container that contains his two little pills and dumps them into Alexs' hand (because the doctor doesn't even want to touch them) and then watches as Alex swallows them.
He then was Quarantine in our house for a week. Me and the kids spent the week at my parents house.
The following Tuesday Alex went in for an X-Ray. The Radiation he took would gravitate towards the cancer cells and would lite up on the X-Ray. The results of his X-ray was there still is little spot that lit up in his neck, but had not spread to Lymph nodes or any place else. They are hoping that this session of Radiation will kill off those cancer cells. If not he may have to do a third session of Radiation or they might have to just cut it out, just depending on how much it shrinks.
On the Friday before Alexs' Radiation Treatment we found out his Grandma in Jamaica had passed away. And on the Tuesday of his X-Ray my Great Grandma passed away. So we hope all the bad news ends there.
