First treatment done

Well, I had my first radiation today and there was nothing to it! Didn't feel a thing. Even the tattoos they put on me are tiny, so all in all it was very good. Andrea came along and the whole thing took less than an hour, and this session was longer because they did some confirmation x-rays first. The actual radiation session was only about 10 minutes. Now I'm scheduled for a treatment every weekday thru August 3. They will only take 15 minutes or so and I do plan on cycling over each day. Feel fine today, of course, and I'll post again in a few days.

  2. Hey Ray - as usual, you have a great attitude. I want you to know that tonight I had dinner with Frank, Sue Anne & Emil @ Emil's apartment in NYC. I showed them the wonderful pic's of your houseboat, and the few we took while Charley & I were there two weeks ago. We spent some qualtiy time toasting you and reminising about old times. Cheers!

  3. You are inspiring. I just had surgery last week to remove stage 1 melanoma from my scalp. I wish you well.
