My oncology team met today before my appointment. Instead of gamma knife, I will have 5 days of radiation to my brain tumor. This will allow them to be more precise in treatment of the tumor and not healthy brain tissue. There is also less chance for necrosis down the road.
I am delaying this to take a vacation. I need to refuel a bit.
On June 10 I will have a brain CT and MRI and be fitted with a mask to hold me in place during treatments.
On June 11 I am having neck down scans and treatment. I also start my new oral chemo meds that day.
June 17 – 21 I will have daily radiation to my brain tumor.
Some additional refueling came today when my oncologist’s nurse coordinator procured a drug copay card that will lower the total copay on the 2 new chemo drugs to $93 every 21 days (instead of $300). What a relief!
I am not in control.
