We have completed the last of the Radiation treatments! Woo hoo! Thank you to the radiation oncology team at Sky Ridge Medical Center for greeting us with a smile everyday, and making this part of the journey less frightening. And to Dr. Acker, "let's hope that bat hit this skunk on the first swing!"
The last 3 days have been what they call "boosts" which are more intense and zeroed-in on the area (which WAS the tumor). This boost will continue to do its job for about 10 more days, and I should start feeling better day by day. In 3 weeks I get rechecked. If I may request a NEW Prayer, "For the tumor to be gone and that the impending surgery (in November) won't need to be as radical or invasive (reconstruction) as originally thought." There's nothing medical yet telling me otherwise, but that is my new hope.
And to Doug.... Happy 51st Birthday today! You rock.
