I went for my markings for radiation this morning and received 4 freckle-like tattoos so that the technician can target the treatments to my rib properly. My first appointment is next Monday and I will have 10 sessions.
What I’m grateful for today: Rain for my hostas
About Me
- Christine
- One of the challenges of having advanced cancer is that there aren't enough good-news stories. While it may be necessary to go to the 'dark side' at times, I want to create a blog that is about living in the moment and finding joy in the small things.

Is this the first time with radiation?
I was not so courageous with radiation. I could be convinced otherwise.
Yes, this is my first radiation. I had a mastectomy and chemo in 1998 and it was decided that I didn't need radiation at that time.
