Friday, my wife
went in for her third radiation treatment.
The staff at the Cancer Center are so supportive that she now feels
comfortable during the treatments. The
treatment time is only fifteen minutes and most of the time is spent programming and aiming the machine, the actual radiation only lasts a couple of minutes.
My wife is
in good spirits, accepting the necessity of the treatment. We know that at some time there will be skin
discomfort and fatigue, but so far the two hour round trip for
a fifteen-minute treatment is the fatiguing part.
To make the
procedure somewhat more comfortable we have scheduled the appointments just
before noon which allows us to explore local restaurants, book stores or points
of interest in conjunction with each treatment, as long as she feels up to
it.
I will
continue to post general information about her treatment, hopefully to help
inform people about to be involved in, or supporting someone through, the cancer
treatment process.

Glad to hear it's going well. Sounds like radiation alone certainly has fewer nastier side effects than chemo, which is a blessing.
