Radiation Oncology Consult
Hey- Today we met with Radiation Oncology. In a nut shell: this doctor wants to be very aggressive. He plans on radiating me from mid-sternum (to include a bit of the left lung) to right clavicle, to right axilla, to just above my belly button area. A very large area to say the least.
Still, Steve & I can't wrap our minds around why, since they did the mastectomy, and will do the chemotherapy before the radiation. Doesn't the chemo kill enough of the microscopic organisms that can't be detected? Isn't radiation a bit of over kill? We read the stats, and the literature, but it is still not something we can accept for me/us. Needless to say, this business wont happen until January.
So, I"m loving the website(s)! I"m loving the attention all ya'll are giving me! I'm loving the wonderful things people have to say in the guestbooks; the support & encouragment is tremendous! I get cards and emails daily, and it feels soooooooooooo good! My CEO's of Team Tiffany: Susan, Karen, Gregg and hubby Steve are doing a fabulous job! It's great just to have you all being there in spirit for me! More to come soon.....Tiffany
