Its Friday evening and I am reflecting on the past few weeks.
I had radiation for the first time yesterday and again today. I am not at all sure what reaction I should expect but it seems that I run over to the hospital, get zapped, drive home and then get hammered for about an hour. The radiation machine is incredible. It is about the size of our motorhome and makes buzzing noises and rotations while I lay there on the table . I have drawings on my chest and sides that are used by the techs to align the beast.
I must say right here that the folks that I have been dealing with, techs, nurses and doctors have been
so supportive. I know they deal with sick folks everyday but I am so grateful that they are there for us.
I will have my second chemo session Monday followed by radiation so it should be a long day but a giant step in kicking this tumor out of here.

How long does a session of the radiation treatment take to complete?
ReplyDeleteActually takes about 15 minutes from the moment you are aligned with the monster and the sequence starts.
