Dr H read this!
Yesterday, I met with my radiation oncologist, Dr Holland (Dr H) at OHSU. First order of business is always to talk about the book I’m reading while I wait for his arrival. Each and every time he has read my book – I’m impressed. Next time I see him I’ll intentionally bring a Stephanie Plum book. That would make for an interesting appointment!
I’m scheduled to get a follow-up MRI at the end of May. I am confident that what ever it shows Dr H will have a plan. We lightly discussed next steps, just lightly. I see no need to dive into any direction when it will depend on the images. He has options identified; that works for me.
We talked numbers at this appointment. I’m usually a numbers gal but not when it comes to grays, number of mets, etc… I put an abrupt end to this subject. Not soon enough though. The numbers went whirling around my head last night; inappropriately at 3:30 am.
Today is dedicated to resting, sleeping, and reading the second half of my book! A wonderful Thursday it will be.
Kimmy, I will be having another craniotomy Tuesday. I ask you and all your readers to say a prayer for me.
Melanie, I’ll be praying for you!
Praying for you too and hoping all goes well.
Wishing you the best outcome possible Melanie!
Hope you have a nice weekend
You too Gwendolyn! Make it memorable…
I love that I learned something totally new and unexpected today!
One gray is the absorption of one joule of energy, in the form of ionizing radiation, per kilogram of matter.
I had no idea!! Thanks for the education and I hope your grays were high (if that is a good thing) or at least right where they are supposed to be to keep that damn cancer crap away!
I had you in mind when I added the link. I love my brainiac friends!
