08/17/2006: "Radiation Half Way Point"

Today I just finished radiation “ZAP” number six. So that puts me at the half way point. Funny how time flies when you are having a good time. Anyway, you got to celebrate the little things. Right? I am learning to relax better underneath the cage. It has taken a few visits but I think I am getting the hang of it. I try to imagine the radiation killing the tumor and I envision it shriveling, crying, dying, etc.

I have been overdue for a PET scan to measure how the tumors are doing. I decided to push the scan date back to Sept. 12th so to give the radiation a little time to show results. I am not sure how long it takes to know whether it worked. I will see my Oncologist two days later to go over the results and hopefully, something to smile about. He also has the results from a genetic test I did. This test helps to see if my kids are at risk genetically. Anyway, the PET scans seems far away – but time does fly.
