So I had my baseline hearing test today as the radiation and/or chemo could trigger both temporary or permanent hearing loss. So, there will be another test a few months after treatment is complete to compare the results and assess any damages.
Other than that, it's now wait until the first radiation treatment on March 31. Let the games begin!!!
I was not accepted into the clinical trial but that's OK. I knew that was a distinct possibility. It seems that when they took the cell sample for the biopsy, there was enough to do the diagnosis, but not enough to provide the slides that would be needed to complete the analysis of the trial. And the radiation oncologist, Dr. Caudell, said that they could not in good conscience put me through the ordeal of extracting a larger sample. I like that line of thinking!!
But, it will be slow for a while, Will check in later.
Peace and love to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right there with you! Paws crossed for a smooth ride. :)

ReplyDeleteMy friend went through Proton Therapy last year and he wore a molded mask like you probably will have. When he came out of therapy he had these cool dot impressions all over his face for a few hours. With your attitude you can have some fun with your polka dots! Paint them different colors and compete with Liz for the most unique ink!
