Just a minor update folks!!
I went for radiation yesterday but it was finalizing mapping, not actual radiation treatment. That will begin today.
So not on my Top 10 List of favorite things to do - lying still on a hard metal table in an uncomfortable position would be right up there.
Part of the problem is the whole lying STILL. My head is facing upwards towards the left, both arms are up over my head, the "mold" which was made to help me stay in correct position is not what one would call soft and comfy. Did I mention the table was hard, unyielding metal????
The amusing part of all of this, however, is I felt like I was in some science fiction futuristic alternative universe. Here is this big machine raising me up, moving around me, coming close CLOSE to me, moving back from me, making noises, changing lights, and this is not yet the real deal. Hmm...
They (my royal Radiation Attendants) were working on making sure all the measurements are accurate, entered into the computer accurately and I am sufficiently marked for good templates to be made with which I will then have radiation applied to only the place where it is deemed necessary and such.
To do this, I got more, and more, and more mapping marks. I am now a veritable cool spectrum only rainbow. In addition to the lovely blue marks I already had been mapped with, I now have a rich, royal, and luxurious purple, a turquoise green and then whatever colors result from when these colors overlay each other.
Today I will find out what the "templates" hold in store for me. Then I will go see "Harry Potter, The Deathly Hallows, part 2" - which I have already seen, but my younger son has not and is MOST anxious to see.
So now I will sally forth to don my sleeve ( I have yet to pick up the gauntlet which IS now in stock at the Gauntlet Store) and do all the other things necessary to my daily activities.
The XRT begins...
