Sadly Dr Lim canceled the port removal because most of his staff didn't show up yesterday due to the snow. I would have showed up. Sigh. But for now the port remains under the surface of my chest skin until the new year.
In better news I am, apparently, very good at radiation. Not only do I hit my marks on the machine almost every time, but the burn really is minimal. The nurse technician told me today that at this stage many others have blisters and open sores from treatment. All you can see on me is a faint pink tinge.
I have four more regular radiation treatments then we go to the "boost" phase. This will be seven treatments of an electron beam that is focused only on the tumor location to make absolutely sure that there's no more cancer around the margins. I think they have to create some kind of breast mask to ensure the beam hits its mark every time. Neat.

You overachiever, you!
You can hang it on your wall as art when you're done with it...like those weird belly casts when people are preggers....
