Radiation Treatment - Day Fourteen

When you go for radiation, you have to be scanned and positioned just so. Sometimes it takes some futzing. Just like life.

Today we met with our oncologist and discussed additional treatment after radiation. Our goals: 1st) cruise May 3-7, 2nd) son's 21st birthday, mid June; 3rd) Jan 2009 when he can increase life insurance to millions.

The best part of today was booking that cruise for The Ex, our son, and a beloved family friend. And we didn't book just a gloomy room with no view. Noooooo!


These guys are on the Verandah Deck, no view obstructions, window and DOOR to private, outside balcony! A delightful top-shelf cruise to the Bahamas, VIP entrance, first Freeport and then Nassau.

It appears likely that The Ex will undergo some chemo prior to the cruise. Then we'll see how it goes. He may choose, and perhaps wisely so, to forego it all and just party hard for the cruise.

I apologize for my brevity. I am exhausted. And I know all of my SCLC-caregivers will understand.

Our glorious, last day of radiation is tomorrow. There is already vast improvement in pain. Now we just have to endure some more crap so The Ex and our son can be together to heal old wounds.

G'nite all.
