We had an extensive consult with radiation oncologist Jondavid Pollack yesterday, and Maureen had an hour of measurements, xrays and markings. Dr Pollack works today on plotting the radiation plan and then she goes in for more measurements and a cat scan tomorrow. This is all to make sure the radiation goes to the exact right places and avoids the good areas as much as possible. Radiation treatment may be starting monday, daily for about 5 weeks.
In the meantime, she is starting chemo with taxol this morning. Kathleen arrived last night which is really great.
Again, I am asking everyone not to ask her to go over all this-she had to do it three times on the phone last night. Please check the blog for medical info and call her to discuss typical everyday stuff, argue about politics, etc. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S UNDERSTANDING ON THIS.
Love
Bob
