The radiation is working! They said it would take a couple weeks before I notice a difference but the pain has already decreased enormously. These pictures are the radiation machine with me all hooked up. I think they strap my feet together so I don't run away!
The discussion at the weekly clinic on Friday was about wrapping things up so I can go home but the doctor gave me some disappointing news. He said I would need to stay about one week longer than expected. They are planning to give me a drug called Revlimid but it's a very difficult drug to obtain since it can cause birth defects for pregnant women. After they eventually get the drug, the doctor wants me to remain in Seattle for one week in case I have a negative reaction. That puts my end date somewhere around the 20th. Can't wait!!
Well, you shouldn't have told them you might be preganant!
