My Radiation Friend

Recently a friend referred to me as "My Radiation Friend". I find this hilarious! Sad but true.

Today I meet with my Radiation Oncologist to learn about my specific, personally-tailored radiation program. I was told that I would start around three to four weeks post-op. It takes a week to do all the "prep" to be ready to start. (Cool. I get another tattoo and a super fine body shield.) However, I have decided that I will continue as previously planned to take Brennan to his college freshman orientation later this month. I don't know if this means I will start radiation a little bit later or get a reprieve for a couple of days. But you know what? Life goes on. My child is required to attend said orientation and I want the experience and joy of taking him. As planned.

So I find myself at an interesting junction. I don't know my future. But I do know I have plans. So I am moving forward, as a radiation patient, and as a friend. My Radiation Friend-I love it!
