Radiation treatments started this week. Wednesday was my first scheduled day. The plan was for them to run some simulations on Wednesday and have the doctor review the results. That way when I came in on Thursday they could start with the treatments. This was a great plan except the fact that when I showed up on Wednesday, the machine was down and they had to reschedule my appointment. New plan, show up Thursday and they would do everything they wanted to do the previous day PLUS give me my first dose of radiation. Luckily a friend was already driving up north on Wednesday on other business and I just tagged along, so the drive was not a waste. Thursday I had my first driver whose sole intent was to get me to my appointment, hopefully it would all go well. It didn’t… We arrived and checked in early only to find out there was a scheduling problem and my appointment was going to be delayed an hour. I ended up being treated when my time came and after finishing the simulations, the treatment went fairly quickly. My first day receiving a dose of radiation was complete. I checked myself for strange glowing bits, found nothing, and headed home. Today I show up for my appointment and the machine is down again, but I was told “it should be operating again shortly.” Over an hour past my appointment time, I was treated. Now I am up to two doses of this stuff and I am more than ready for it to be over. Hopefully next week runs a little more smoothly.
