We're finally set to go this Thursday. I've met with the radiation oncologists in Hutchinson twice. The first was a consultation and yesterday they prepared for setting up the computer specific to my treatment. I was measured, x-rayed, cat-scanned, and tattooed. Yes, I said tattooed! I actually got them before any of my kids (I think)! They're really just small dots, but I don't plan on getting others any time soon - they hurt!
I'll be having 6 1/2 weeks of radiation (a total of 33 times), five days a week. The drive to Hutchinson will take longer than the radiation! They don't anticipate any major side effects. (Of course, the permission form I had to sign was a bit frightening!) Please pray for minimal side effects and for safety in traveling the 50 miles daily. We're just excited to be starting so we can get it done! We're very thankful to be doing this over the summer rather than during the school year. The doctors tell me that a year from now we'll hardly remember the last couple of months at all. The Lord is so good! We pray for His blessings to all of you!
