Long afternoon and we are finally home. We met with the doctor and a CT scan was done to map the area they will target with their focused radiation beam. Sandi starts radiation next Wednesday afternoon. The plan, subject to change, is for 25 sessions. That means five days a week each week or until mid November.
The doctor is optimistic that radiation will work on this tumor as it has before. She faces significant complications due to the previous radiation, all the chemos she has had, and her significantly weakened medical state now.
In the meantime, she is to eat when she can, rest, and see her main cancer doctor for blood work and an office visit next Tuesday morning.
Good luck with all this. I know how tough it can be on everyone. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteLately I've been thinking Tom Petty wrote "I Won't Back Down" about Sandi. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. That song as well as the "Wonder Woman" moniker a good friend of mine bestowed on her some time ago seem to really fit.
