Thursday, July 16th, Scott and I met with the Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Richardson at the University Clinic close to our house. ( I decided I did not want to drive to the University Cancer Center every day to have radiation treatments (50 miles round trip) when the clinic is only 8 miles from our house.) Anyway, Dr. R. explained why I have to have radiation and the side effects - both short term and long term (years). (Why does this seem to be a never-ending battle?) An hour later, I signed the consent forms and off I went to scheduling and Scott went back to work.
I have a CT Scan scheduled for the afternoon of Tuesday the 21st at the University Clinic to determine the radiation treatment area . That's after I spend the morning at the University Cancer Clinic for a Echo Gram and a 'heart-to-heart' talk with the Dr. Ewer, Cardiologist. Busy day.
Provided all goes well, I have my chemo treatments starting again on Friday the 24th and Radiation starts Monday the 27th. I have 33 treatments. Monday through Friday. Good Bye August.
