Radiation Oncologist Message

Well, here it is Sunday afternoon, and my Dr. just called me. He calls me after hours all the time...very dedicated. I think he lives in his office like a mad scientist. He said he has my plan of care together for the radiation and depending on how quickly I can get my brain MRI done and how quickly the medical oncologist is ready (I see him Tuesday), we will be ready to start Rx. He said he was very happy & surprised with how my plan came together. He said it usually is quite complicated & time-consuming. He said he felt someone must be praying for me. I assured him that was true! His major emphasis was on nutrition, staying strong throughout this so that I could remain a surgical candidate after treatment is completed. He said calories, calories, calories! So, now that I have an excuse to eat, it's incredibly hard and everything tastes like sawdust. Isn't that how it goes? Keep up the prayers & good wishes...it's working. Love you all, Linda
