Bring on all the x-rays



8 August 2019
Today I met with my radiation oncologist, Dr Debra Furniss. She's the Regional Medical Director Oncology for Sunshine Coast at GenesisCare and she has dozens of letters behind her name which gives me confidence that she knows quite a bit about the business of cancer fuckoffery.
She's going to zap my mastectomy surgery site, right chest wall, upper lymph nodes and armpit with targeted x-rays in an effort to vanquish any remaining cancer cells. 
Starting in late October, I'll be having daily radiation sessions for five weeks with my final (and 25th) session likely occurring the day before my 42nd birthday. What a gift!
The other positive news is that the end of chemo will kick off a three-week "break" from all treatment. Woohoo! It finally feels like there's going to be an end to this treatment schedule.
