Radiation Day 1 was very anticlimactic. The whole radiation process apparently takes less than 10 minutes, and obviously Tim won't feel any effects (good or bad) on day 1, so it was basically (1) show up, (2) get zapped, (3) go to work. I only wish the entire 7 weeks would be this uneventful.
Day 1 down, 34 days to go (not counting weekends; the last day of treatment is October 24).
Wednesday is chemo infusion #1. The day is going to go like this — 10:30 am, radiation; 10:45 am, appointment with radiation oncologist; 11 am, chemo infusion starts; 11:15 am, appointment with chemo oncologist; 11:30 am, appointment with nutritionist; 12 noon, Steph leaves the hospital to grab lunch and get to therapy; 1 pm, Steph has therapy; 2 pm, Steph goes back to the hospital, stopping at CVS on the way; 3 pm, chemo infusion is over and we go home.
I am exceedingly happy that the hospital is literally 3 miles from our house. Driving back and forth will get old, but at least it won't be a long drive.
