That's the date they gave me for treatment on the Tomo Therapy machine. My team of doctors (I love the sound of that) have decided because I do not fit in any category or profile. That they do not want to treat me with traditional radiation but this new machine which incorporates a CT scan each time they give you radiation. So, that your treatment is adjusted by the computer daily. It also spares the salivary glands and you have less dry mouth problems.
My friend Hilary in Kent England sent me a bouquet of Iris's from The Channel Islands. I was totally gobsmacked. It was so unexpected. And we only just met this year. I need to get back to painting or some hobby. I like these little plastic men called Munny's that you draw on. They have a store in Tampa, Florida and when I go for treatment I am going to buy some kits and try doing them. It looks like something that would keep my mind busy. I had a bluebird checking out my bluebird house. But I think a chickadee has claimed it. My husband has the respiratory flu or whatever this crud is that's going around where you get the worst sore throat ever and hack up chunks of gunk. I went to GNC and got some Sambucol syrup (elderberry
extract) And he and I are both taking it. I am sleeping in the spare bedroom. I hope he stops running a fever tomorrow. This all started with a severe sore throat. Then the coughing started. It reminded me of this very scary flu I had one year where it hurt so bad to cough
and the congestion was like glue and you could not cough it up. I remember thinking I was going to die.
Television has gone crazy. They are doing reruns after just showing one or two weeks of new shows. Ok. this is all I know. Later.

That treatment path sounds much better, like it's more tailored for your specific circumstances rather than just chucking any old treatment at the problem. Bravo doctors! *applauds* I hope your hubby feels better soon ♥
