Treatment Continued....
I met with Dr. Bader (radiologist) this afternoon. He's anxious to get going with radiation soon because of the size of the tumor (largish) and my age (youngish.) So I go in next week for measuring up, tattoos etc and they'll start zapping on the 17th. Treatment will probably last six and a half weeks - 10 minutes every day, five days a week - which is a little longer than standard, again because of the tumor size/age factors. And so it remains only for me to get the port removed and pick a super power :)

Thinking of you a ton, Bex. Good luck with the radiation. Sounds horrible. Are you coming up to Seattle for Melissa's party?
Bex, I had whole brain radiation and radiation on my hip (which I hoped would help my dance skills, but alas, I must blame it on my lack of rhythm and not my joints) -- and it was a piece of cake. I will hope the same for you.
Jealous of port removal...
See you tomorrow!! xoxox, mp
