12-8-15 Radiation Update

Hi Everyone,

I finished my first week of radiation and I'm into week 2. Everything is going smooth and according to plan. I haven't felt any side effects and they don't expect me to, but it does all depend on my body's strength to manage the side effects like nausea, and diarrhea.

This is a picture of the TrueBeam Radiation machine that they use to treat the remaining tumor.

The TrueBeam rotates around me and stops at certain points to radiate me. During the radiation mapping I got 3 ballpoint pen size tattoos that would be used to align the machine up.

Of course I had to take a shot posing with such an amazing machine. Radiation ends on 12-28-15 and I'll find out when my next PET scan is that will determine the results of the radiation. Next up is Stem Cell Chemo cycle 4 in Jan 2016.
















Thanks for reading.
