Thursday, May 13, 2010

It was a day of ups and downs. A call from the Radiation Oncologist this morning advised me that they were going to revisit my treatment after viewing the CAT scan taken yesterday. After further review it looks like the tumor is actually on the skull pushing on the brain instead of in the brain pushing into the skull. A small step in the right direction. So instead of radiating the whole brain with low dosage they plan on high dosage aimed right at the tumor to shrink and kill it so it won't spread. So back to the hospital tomorrow for a new simulation and new mask. Of course this was decided in about 5 phone conflicting phone calls that kep't me on edge most of the day.

No side effects from the chemo today. Didn't sleep too well last night but I think was mostly the steroids they have me on which casues insomnia. But I was busy and put in a full day which made me mentally strong. I am noticing my taste going already. Everything is tasting bland.

Special thanks to Kelly and her mom for making these great BC bracelets filled with super powers for myself and my supper support team Kelly, Kathy and Emily. They are beautiful and remind me of how lucky I am to have such fantastic friends. Thanks Emily for the beautiful plant!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a less stressful day. Thanks again to all my friends and family for your love and support. Your the best and I love you all.
