Today on the way to radiation, I did this to my car:
I am not injured but my poor little car is. When I get to the hospital (more than an HOUR late), a nice man in scrubs asks "how's it going?" I say "okay". In my head I'm thinking I just WRECKED MY CAR on the way to CYBERKNIFE RADIATION! How do YOU think it's going?
I pretty much think it was Roli's fault. I think Roli was getting jealous that my car gets to spend so much time with me and he arranged the whole thing. All I can say to Roli is, "That car doesn't even have a NAME! I spend so much time in it so I can come see you! And when you disable my car, it provides a challenge for me to GET TO YOU!!"
Hopefully, Roli gets over this fit of jealousy rather quickly.
So, I got the answers to a couple of questions to today. But I'm getting tired so you only get the answer to one of them. "Just how trendy am I?" Oh, plenty trendy - I'm approximately the 10th patient who has had cyberknife treatment for 25 sessions. I'm Roli's 2nd patient with extended treatments like that. (No wonder he's so possessive!)
Stella said that it's mostly been little kids who've received radiation this way. The cyberknife is very precise and their cute little brains need the exactness of delivery.
When Dr. Timmerman was telling me about this type of radiation, he told me I wouldn't be able to find anything on the internet about cyberknife used this way. He said it's only been done for a few individuals. So apparently I'm dumb, because I thought he meant like a few HUNDRED individuals. Nope, he meant just what he said - a few individuals. So I am definitely a trendsetter. (And not a very good question asker before treatment starts. Maybe I'll work on that. Or just continue to ask questions as we go along.) Good thing I'm in the very VERY capable hands of brilliant brain tumor experts! I really do think they are brilliant.
Only on day 6.... what do the next 4 weeks have in store for me?!
