Got the Call!

We got the phone call today. JoAnn, our cyberknife coordinator, called today to tell me that Dr. Chu had been in to contour my films, so the radiology oncology team is ready for me to come in for my first treatment. Hearing that term, "contour," forced me to ask JoAnn if there was any way they might be planning to "contour my body." Fortunately, JoAnn has a sense of humor and assured me that if contours of the body were possible, she would have already taken care of that for herself.


The scheduled first treatment with the cyberknife is planned for Thursday of this week, February 7. No other dates are confirmed at this time, but since they try to get all the treatments in quickly, it is likely I will go in on Friday and probably Monday. JoAnn told me that the treatments will be from three to five days, approximately two hours each. As I learn more, I'll put it on this site.


Thanks to Clint who tirelessly drives me to my appointments and waits patiently for me to complete my treatments. He's just terrific!

I feel like a bad sister ... I am keeping up with your life through your blog now. :)

Call me sometime! I would like to plan a time for a visit (maybe just me) soon ... air fares are cheap again right now.
