Awkward radiology appt
I met with my radiologist on Monday for the preliminary session before I start in two weeks. It was quite unexpected. I had to get a scan of my torso so they could plan where the radiation goes, apparently that takes two weeks. Who knew? The whole process was totally painless but completely awkward. I had to lay there while the not-hot-but-very-nice-fast-talking radiologist make black marks all over my chest. It was weird. Then the scan came, which meant that I got to go in and out of the stargate looking machine. I am sure that one of these times I am going to end up on a different planet, quite possibly fighting aliens and saving said planet. After the scan, the radiology ladies came in and turned some of the marks into x’s which I am not supposed to let wash off until my first treatment on the 11th. The whole process was awkward and weird and I did not like it at all. But, I would still take that over chemo any day. I start on the 11th and then every day until the 24th of Sept. Not really looking forward to doing that but it is necessary so whatever.
I feel almost completely human after my last chemo treatment, very excited that I am done with that stupid grossness.
Publishers Weekly did an article on San Diego comic con with pictures of a few of the PBB boys. Read it here. I love when my boys get press.
That whole process does sound quite awkward and uncomfortable!! I guess you can look at the bright side that the radiologist wasn’t hot? Thanks so much for recommeneding Her Decade…. I have now ordered my copy of Fan Boy and Goth Girl since Barry is such an amazing writer. Since I have a nine month old the only time I ever really get to read is nap time so I take longer to finish a book then I would sometimes like. I hope radiology is overall a much more pleasant experience. Best wishes
