Simulation day at the oncologists

Not a pleasant experience. You lie on a very hard table and they place hot plastic mesh on your face, neck and shoulders and then mold it to your body and then cover the whole thing with cold, wet towels so that it cools faster. But let me tell you..it is very claustrophobic and can't cool fast enough. Then you stay in the mask unable to move while they do an CT scan and mark the mask. The process for my knee was faster and certainly not as bad. It will take a week for the computer and radiation oncologists to map the paths of radiation for my neck that will hit the tumor but miss my esophagus etc. I return for the actual radiation treatment the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Hopefully

Made dinner for both families and then tried to help Lori with the kids while she made lunches and did garbage etc. Finny is at the stage where she cries when anyone holds her but her Mom and Dad so I ended up not being as much help as I wished.

Today I am going home for some R&R. I love being with the little ones but they certainly are exhausting.
