This morning I went for the "final measurements" for my radiation treatment, and I swear the outline they drew on my chest looks like a map of Africa on it's side. Coincidentally my right nipple is about where Zimbabwe should be. I thought that I would be getting a treatment today but it will be starting tomorrow (March 26th). I have a standing appointment Monday through Friday at 9:15am. Weekends off. How cool! This will go on for 7 weeks. The treatments should take about 15-20 minutes with the actual "bombing" taking about 2 minutes. It's supposed to be painless, but I'll let you know! As for the side effects.............well, I'll let you know as well.
Tomorrow I start the chemotherapy treatment in conjunction with the radiation. I will find out then what exactly will be involved with the chemo.
We celebrated the day by going for a good Chinese lunch at Szechuan House; Russ, Diana, Mike and I. A quick bit of shopping, and then off home to have the obligatory afternoon nap. A short walk in the forest (on my new wood chip path) with Russ and Max put me in good shape for the nap.
Our good friend Annie stopped by with a ton of food.
Diana is doing the BBQ tonight: Buffalo burgers from Trader Joe's. Whoopee.

Once you mentally rotate the picture 90 degrees to the left you will notice that the left nipple is in fact Baghdad.
