I'm a Marked Woman!!

I had my appointment to start the radiation today. I underwent a treatment planning CT scan and they marked big black X's on the perimeter of my scars. They are on stickers that will need to stay put until my next appointment. Dr. Z will use IMRT in my treatment planning which will require a few additional days of work. When I asked what IMRT was I was told Intense M (can't remember the word, magnified??) Radiation Therapy. It will mean a more concentrated focus of the radiation...whatever that means. I can only guess it means they will target the tumors. Makes sense. They estimate that I will be ready for a run through appointment on Thursday and the actual radiation to start of Friday. I'll wait to hear from them with a time. Here's to hoping they are better at communicating than Dr. Eckardt's office :-)
