When I tell you her days are long…I’m not exaggerating! Here is a look at tomorrow’s schedule. She will be tired. She will be frustrated.
She made the decision herself today to not be sedated for her CT, MRI and radiation simulation. The radiation simulation is where she will be fitted for her “mask” so they know the precise location to aim the proton beam each time she is undergoing her treatment. She will have 5 days of treatment and 2 days off. She will have to be very still through each one of these imagining and processes and she know she can do it!
I’m proud of her for using her voice and continuing to tell us what she wants instead letting us and the doctors always make these decisions for her. It’s important for her to be a key decision maker though this.
