Fun but exhausting!


Just had to share with everyone how much fun I am having taking care of my grandkids while Becca is working and Brian is in New York. I must a lot more stamina now as I have been taking care of both kids for most of the day. This morning Dash came over as well and we made green Playdoh while Alex sat in his bouncy chair and watched.

I did see the radiation oncologist on Tuesday. He said that we can do radiation to both tumors. He will give one large dose to the one on my neck and two smaller doses to my knee. This type of radiation, called stereotactic body radiation, requires a simulation appointment of 1 hour and a week for them to make the computer simulation and then two more appointments the following week for the treatment itself. I hope to have all of this done before the week of Thanksgiving so the worst of the side effects will be over by the time all of the Bloomfield arrive in Portland for Thanksgiving.
