Vicki will complete her MRI testing at Georgetown beginning at 7:30 am on Monday morning. The doctors will have to sedate her because she has been in too much pain to lay down for the length of time required for the MRI exam. At 10:30 am Vicki's Radiologist, Dr. Brian Collins, will aim the radiation therapy instruments. This should take about two hours if all goes as planned.
We still do not have a radiation schedule, but we hope Dr. Collins will have the plan ready for us tomorrow. Once we begin radiation treatments Vicki will need to go to Georgetown every day for about two weeks. Each treatment will only last about 20 minutes but the ride to and from Georgetown and the potential waiting at the hospital could add up to be several hours each day.
I believe this will prove to be an exhausting few weeks for Vicki because of the daily trips and the radiation itself. Vicki has typically complained that one of her greatest challenges is a lack of energy.
