Today the kids had school and I had an 8am doctors appointmentwith Dr. K, my radiation oncologist in Martinsburg. He treated me in 2008 when my bone metastasis began. I think very highly of him and would recommend him to anyone facing radiation treatment! After an exam, a discussion and a set-up CT, he is working on a plan to radiate the left side of my pelvis. His office will call me on Monday and I will begin treatments on Monday or Tuesday of next week. On my first day of radiation they will tell me how many treatments I will have and at what time of day so I can start working on rides when I hear from them on Monday. Again, thank you to everyone who has offered to help with transportation! I know it is a hike out to our house and I really appreciate your generosity! I will be calling!
Because of the fracture and the cancer in the pelvis, I am going to be using a walker, crutches and a wheelchair for quite some time. I will just have to be patient and try to focus on the fact that the pelvis can be treated and, with some tender loving care I can work my way back!
