"Here's my schedule for next week
Monday.... Appt. with Dr.Clark the pulmonologist then go to day surgery and have groshong catheter put in
for chemo treatments.
Tuesday ....Bronchoscopy in Provs OR. They plan to look down in my lungs with a long
scope to see it any tumor can be spotted. None is expected. The thought is that it is so small it
will never be found or that my immune system killed it but not before it had spread to the lymph nodes.
Wednesday.... Needle aspiration thyroid nodule under ultrasound at Prov. Everyone
thinks this is benign but are just covering all the bases and what the hell
I sure have met my $5000 deductible and it'll be covered.
Thursday.... setup for radiation therapy at Regional.....I get one of those head mask made
so that my head won't move while they radiate from mid left neck all the way
down to mid chest. It's a stiff mesh that's shaped to your head and face. While lying on your
back on the x-ray table it is placed over your face and secured to the table so that no
head or neck movement takes place because the machine is
calibrated 3 dimensionally to fire their beams at the exact same spot each time.
I'll be getting 30 -35 treatments.
Friday ..I fly to Kenai to hang out with family. Sunday Dana flys back to Anchorage with me to
help out with the chemo and radiation that I start on Monday through Friday..5 days a week.
The following Monday the fun really starts..........."
