Two radiation treatments down, 22 remaining! The treatments have been so easy so far. I don't have to wear a mask all I have to do it have my hands above my head during the short treatment. The machine moves five times. Each time a nurse has to come in and change the plate on the machine, but other than that it's very uneventful. Right now I am going every morning but when I go back to work I will go in the afternoons.
You wouldn't think this, but the waiting room is full of positive energy and there's always something going on. There are two nuns (who really are biological sisters) that give their entire morning every day to just sit and be with the people going through treatment. They are truly amazing (and so funny). I bring a book every day to read and every day I leave without as much as a paragraph read because of all the entertainment.
On Friday I have an appointment with my medical oncologist to talk about options for chemo. I have emailed him and asked him to call the specialist at UCH to get his opinion on things. If he can't get a hold of him I plan to pursue the referral.
I have been talking to a couple people online who have had chemo and this specific kind of sarcoma so I told my doc what they used for chemo and he said that would be what he uses on me as well. At least there is something that everyone is on the same page with.
