My Radiation Treatment is NOW scheduled!!

   Just heard from Lahey - that my radiation treatment has now been finalized and I will be headed there on Monday, May 4th -- to meet with my team.   It will the the One Time Radiation treatment and I am really excited to begin!    It will be a 30 minute dose of radiation and I should tolerate it well.  All three of my specialists will be there and I'm feeling very positive.

  Update -- November 14, 2016 -- It's now been 19 months since I started this battle and I'm doing okay -- mostly taking taking each day as they come.  My brain tumor is long gone, thanks to the Radiation I had done way back on May 4th, 2015.    The specialized type is called SRS Stereotactic Radiosurgery,  also known as Cyberknife and it worked perfectly for me.   It was totally painless and I've had no recurrence - the procedure went very well and I had not side effects or any issues with it.   I'm still treating the Lung Cancer, currently with Opdivo (an Immunotherapy Drug) FDA approved for Lung Cancer in October of 2015 -- so much has changed in the past several months, but I'm still fighting hard and determined to WIN this battle!!

   On another happy note - I met with the wonderful landscaper today (Jane's Perennial Garden's) and she will be doing our yard for us -- Starting soon!   She said I might be surprised to come home one day and see it all done or in process!   She was delightful and I will look forward to sharing pictures of the new design.   Flowers make me so happy!

   I have two new cards to share too -- they are also on my other Card Blog --  They were fun to create today!




    Thanks for stopping by -- and for all the continued support and LOVE!   I am so lucky to have you all on my side !
