Today, I met with Dr. Chin to start the planning for the radiation treatment. This basically entails getting a CAT scan done so that the computers can be programmed. So, the first thing that they did was put me on the scanner for about 10 minutes. The lasers are aligned and markings are made so that they have a good reference point. Afterwards, the technician tattooed some markings into my neck. These are permanent markings that they will use to help align the radiation machines.
Assuming no delays after the PET/CT scan, I should be set to start radiation on Monday, May 12th. We're looking at about 15-18 treatments (I still need to confirm that), which means I should be done by the first week of June. Woo hoo!!
