First day of treatment begins today

Hi All,

I'm off to my first SBRT today. I suppose I've been in a state of denial until this week. While I've been reading, researching and following posts from others here, it's always felt distant to me. Now it's here, and it's been a week of sleepless nights and emotional ups and downs. I know I'll get through this like many have here, but when reality bites, it sure does bite hard! Thanks everyone for sharing your journeys, it really does help! Now, off to battle!

I know on my first radiation treatment it hit me when the machine started moving. It came and went and finished 44 with no real issues. Hopefully you can get your head around it put that energy into enjoying life. For some of us it will always be about that next test result or scan result. Hopefully for you its just this and then back to normal. Good luck.

Wishing you well. Don’t repress your worry or other feelings but know this is a short time in the grand scheme. You will do great. Mine ended a year ago and in the rearview it was a short period of disruption.
