Hey everyone! Brian here! Well, as many of you know, yesterday was supposed to be my first radiation treatment for cancer. Well, something unexpected came up....
I'm too tall.
Yes, you heard me right. The machine that is going to be used to administer the radiation is situated in such a way that when they put me on the table and tried to line me up so they can do the treatment, my head was literally touching the radiation machine AND it was off the table. I'm like WTF??? lol No matter how hard they tried, even with my legs hinged like the hind legs on a frog, the radiation techs were uncomfortable trying to administer the radiation with me as I was positioned. So, the radiation oncologist and his team have to go back and come up with a way to position me in the machine feet first. I don't know why they didn't consider that in the first place! lol So, I go back on Wednesday (Aug. 8) to try again and hopefully, they'll have their ducks in a row so I can get started. lol I hope everyone's having a good weekend and I'll be around on the forums over the course of the weekend
Your friend,
Brian
