Vicki Completes First Radiation Treatment

Vicki completed her first radiation treatment today at Georgetown. The treatment began on time at about 10 am, progressed quickly, and Vicki and her Dad arrived home by 12 noon. She will have a total of 14 radiation treatments during this first round. Each treatment will be at 10 am. She will have the weekends off. After Labor Day the doctors will image the tumor in the L-5 vertabrae with CT scans to see if the tumor has reduced in size.

We took this picture on one of our many trips to New York over the past few years. Vicki had been meeting with some doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in hopes that they may have a potential cure. During our visits we tried to add some fun events to distract us for a while from our true purpose. In this picture, taken in July 2004, we were in Times Square to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. Posted by Picasa
