Radiation Markings


Feeling good, spent the long weekend at the lake. Am enjoying coffee again!


I went for my radiation markings this morning. It didn't even take 30 minutes. I changed into the ever-fashionable hospital gown, laid down on a hard surface, and the two technicians marked me and moved me in and out of the CT scanner a few times. Then they tattooed the 4 markings (permanent, but tiny dots) that will help the radiation technicians line me up properly for my treatments.

They said 25 treatments, tentatively starting in 3 weeks, but that I will get a call to come in and meet with the doctor first. So I don't know too much else.

  1. You look so good in the photo Beth...good for you going commando, lol.
    The number of treatments sounds about average. I had 28 treatments. You may get tired after awhile but usually that is about all you get...nothing like chemo!
    Keep us posted on how you are doing Beth.
