I went into the office yesterday because there was an all hands meeting. I was there about 4 hours, and by the time I got home, I was wiped out. Not sure why. It was nice to see everyone. When I got home, I had to take a nap.
Clayton and I met with Dr. Brian Kim today. He was recommended by Dr. Nguyen and Dr. VanderMolen to be my radiation oncologist. LOVED HIM! I'll do 33 radiation treatments.... one every weekday, with weekends off. That's 6 1/2 weeks of treatment, provided my skin can handle the treatments and I don't have to miss any time. I am scheduled to have what is called a simulation on Tuesday morning. There's a team of people involved in the process, and they'll use laser beams and other things to set coordinates and mark specific locations. Dr. Kim says this is much easier than chemotherapy. Nice! Although, I might have some fatigue. I will travel 25 to 30 minutes each way for a 15 minute appointment. Not sure when the treatments will start, but if they start the week after my Tuesday appointment, then I should be finished during the first few days of October. The best thing..... NO NEEDLES! Yay!
More later....
