Oh, and a minor game changer!

I got a call at about 8:30 this morning. It was from the Radiation Department at Providence Hospital. It seems that Dr. Seung would like me to come in earlier tomorrow, so that they can map me and give me those adorable tattoos (I’m going for the bald eagle, or maybe the sexy female outline… you know the one you see on mud-flaps for semis. That would be so apropos!) And maybe even give me my first treatment.

I wasn’t born yesterday. Chemo and radiation have to start on the same day. Chemo has to start on a Monday. Hence, radiation can’t start on a Friday. It just ain’t possible, unless you break one of the rules.

But I think this means that my chemo and radiation will start on 6/30 instead of 7/7. As logical as it seems, I can’t swear to that until after my appointment tomorrow.

There is a reasonably good chance that the next 6 weeks start on Monday!
