Finally heard from Lacy @ Dr. Jenrette's office today. They want me to come in this Thursday for a final "dry run" for the radiation treatments. "Dry run" = Radiation therapy for brain tumor treatment uses high-energy beams to destroy tumor cells. In an effort to make sure that the beam is directly over the tumor area, radiation specialists will often call for a planning session called a "simulation" in advance of the real treatment. This is used to map out the exact treatment area.

Then she tells me they want to start the actual radiation treatments on Monday??? I should have anticipated them giving me six days notice after all this has been ongoing for almost two months. Now they want to rush me. We ended up "negotiating" a start date of next Thursday, April 8th. Twenty-eight treatments over forty days.

In other news I completed the Cooper River Bridge Run and Dodge Baby Strollers in 1:08:47. Not my best time, but not my worst.
