Proton radiation for my hemangioma at MGH

[lholl36233]

Thanks Phyl,

I still feel good 4 treatments in.  I'll be going in this Sunday because the center is closed Thanksgiving and the day after.

In the waiting room today, I met people from Tennessee and Ohio.  Both of whom said I was lucky I lived so close.

Couldn't have said it better myself....

Hi, I feel like sharing.

I saw Dr. Loeffler today.  He asked if I was having any problems and if there was any change in my hearing or face.  The answer to all questions was no.  He wanted to know how I was commuting everyday.

Then it was, "See you next week".

Hi, Laura ~

You seem to be progressing through the radiation quite well, just as I expected you would.  Thanks for the updates, they are appreciated.

I met many nice folks while waiting for my daily FSR treatments back in the autumn of '06.  Because the facility was a cancer treatment center, most of the people I met in the waiting room were battling cancer and yet, all were cordial and most seemed interested in learning something about my AN experience.  These folks made me realize that, despite my frustrations over having to deal with all the ramifications of an acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor), how fortunate I really was.  Considering my excellent outcome from both surgery and FSR, to this day, I feel blessed.

I had to go in today because the Proton Center is closed Thursday and Friday.

I'm getting better at getting in and out of the machine.

Happy Thanksgiving Mary!
