Well I'm pretty well healed from the last surgery. Today I went back in to prepare for the radiation treatments. They felt the best thing to do was repeat the set up because shape and size changed (slightly) due to the surgery. They WERE able to use the tatoos they did last time....that was good.
I go back on Thursday at 2:15 for a 'dry run'...still no treatment. As of today I will begin radiation on Monday, Feb 16th. Time is still TBD. I asked why they couldn't begin on Friday and they said they usually want at least 2 treatments before the weekend recovery period. Just one treatment would be ineffective.

You're almost there, Rie! It's all downhill from here :)

Good luck with therapy! I hope you have no skin problems except for the "tan" you get which isn't a problem. One thing I was surprised about was that, even though I had these tatoos, they still marked on me with a sharpee each time putting little "t"s on my sides to help line me up. No biggie but just thought I'd warn you of that possibility (maybe they already have). Like I told you before, I had a very positive experience with my therapists and radiation oncologist and was sad to tell them goodbye even though I was thrilled to be done. I hope all goes well in your continuing journey!
