Today was my first visit to get set up for the Radiation portion of this trip which is to begin on the 24th. I did briefly see the Radiation Oncologist who was just as cheerful and friendly as before, and talked a bit more with the nurse and technician who were there. I got to put on a 'johnny' and go to a CT Scan room where I got to have a CT scan...which I like much better than a MRI, by the way. After they did what they needed to do, they gave me tattoos.
Yes, tattoos. 4 dots about the size of small freckles. AND THEY HURT!!! I don't know how people can get all those fancy tattoos if those 4 hurt as much as they did!
The Dr. did say that my scar was more faded than many she had seen (I've been using Mederma on it) which was good.
I still feel that I look weird, but I was stopping by a yarn shop last night to look for black yarn and she said (she knows what's going on) that I looked good and that I looked like 'myself' which did surprise me as I don't think that I do yet. It was very nice of her to say so though.
So, next appointment is on the 24th for the 'dress rehearsal' and then the radiation begins the next day at 8:30am.
