Radiation On Lesion
Saw the Radiation Oncologist today. She feel that the radiation will help. Have staging on Thursday then I’m to have 5 zaps over 5 days. It could take up to 4 weeks to know what the full benefit will be. Its worth a try
reay liked this rad oncologists the last one had no bedside manner at all. Didn’t explain anything. And didn’t believe i had mets said it was all arthritis that was 2 and half years ago
glad my main oncologist didn’t believe him. And started treatment for the lesions immediately.

I know the radiation is not going to cure the mets but it will hopefully help with the pain. And if the Ibrance along with Armidex works to slow down the growth of the lesions and not get anymore I’m in for the long haul

- AWESOME NEWS @cranky_granny xx That is Great that the whites have come back - they are the ones they really look for (neutrophils I think they are ...) as when they are too low, you may be susceptible to any & all bugs xx
I hope the pain meds keep everything under control too. Terrific that you can tolerate Endone - it makes me throw up! :(
Take care & all the best for Monday - I hope you don't have to travel too far xx - It’s on
1st radiation Happy Valentines 😆. On Monday
Medial Oncologist yesterday. Great news. Instead of my bloods levels steadying before going down it dropped by 30%. Needless to say Dr was wrapped and so was I whites came back to an acceptance level. Whatever that means
pain meds upped and to stay on the Slow release till after Radiation is finished and done it’s job. When I arrive at clinic I’m to take an Endone before they start, apparently it's going to take 30 minutes to set me up Onward and upward I have never felt quite so positive with things for a long time. My kids are cheering - @arpie. Hi there
i am still gathering information on this radiation apparently they have had a great deal of success of eliminating my type of metastatic lesions with this particular radiation as i have only 2 lesions and so far there hasn’t been anymore anywhere else in the 2 years I’ve had them.As my sister in-law said today its about time i got a break after 9 years of struggle after struggle not just my bc
it sometimes feels like the last straw and the camels back going to break, then something good comes along to give me hope - Fingers & Toes crossed that it does the trick @cranky_granny. xx
It would be wonderful if your pain could be controlled xx. I hope the wait isn't too long before it starts xx - Ive been head caged and body packed into place, positioned and some extra tattoos
the original ones were still in the right spot just needed some more
now just waiting for my zap dates
from what I understand I’m not to move at all. Also waiting on a call back regarding a couple of questions re meds etc also i have been told it does have a certain additional level of pain. If this works as well as they hope it will be life changing
heres hoping.Its worth the try though there's no guarantee just hope - Hopefully some exciting news tomorrow Rad oncologist rang me today after reviewing my case. Looking into different type of radiation a full explanation tomorrow at my staging appointment.Will keep you updated once i get me head around it all
