Radiation Starts This Week

I will add more to this tonight, but went to the Cancer Center yesterday and met with a Medical Director or I call her, Radiation Specialist, to go over possible areas we can radiate. Unfortunately where my pain is, there's no tumors. Weird, I know. So... there is one bigger tumor that's in my left pelvic area that we are going to radiate. Everything else, is smaller and scattered throughout the middle of my body and will be hard to get. I describe the way it looks to be like the sprinkles you put on a birthday cake. On the Pet Scan we just saw lots of smaller tumors scattered everywhere, lots of black dots. But that also gave me hope. I can beat those black dots!!

So Radiation will start this Thursday and go only for two weeks, so that's not bad at all. Just wish there were more areas we could zap! I also got my hair cut yesterday to make it easier for me to take care of. I will post pics and more info later today.

New Information and Updates

Friday, July 6 - Started drinking Alkaline Water (Idea behind this is to starve cancer cells found in my
                         body because cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment. Drinking something more                           alkaline is said to slow or stop cancer growth. When your told you're terminal, you                               try new things and the doctor said, go for it. I drink half of my body weight each day,                           which isn't hard.)

Thursday, July 12 thru July 25 - Radiation Treatments at Cancer Center

Friday, July 13 - Integrative Onocologist Appointment (To see other options besides Chemo)

Monday, July 16 - MRI 6:30am (To see if any cancer's in the brain)

Wednesday, July 18 - Bone Biopsy 8:20am (To see which cancer has actually come back so we know
                                                                       how to treat it and move forward.)

Forgot to take a before picture, so here was Sunday.

It was shocking at first, but will be so much easier for me to take of with my bones hurting.
