Let the Radiation Begin!!

I spoke to the radiation technician and Dr. Z wants to get started right away. I will go in on Wednesday for the treatment planning CT and to set the marks on my back. He also mentioned that he just finished treating another patient with a similar diagnosis and she didn't tolerate the treatment very well because of the location of the scar. It was at the waist....wonderful! Not to be outdone...I have 2 of those very long suckers...at the waist!! It had to do with the location of the scar and the waistline on her clothing. One of my scars lies just at the low waist and, you guessed it, the other lies just at the waist. The style of clothing these days has already been bothering me at the waist because of the way my scars have keloid. They feel I will be in the same boat and may need to take a week break in the middle of treatment to let the skin close and heal. Sounds yummy, huh? I guess you will be seeing me in a lot of "moo-moos" this summer. Oh and that beautiful pool we just built, won't be doing much of that either. Bummer! But, as always, I am looking on the bright side and I am very thankful no surgery is involved.
