Got my certificate and Mardi Gras mask...

[Tod]

...as I am now finished with 28 sessions of FSR using the TRILOGY system at MCV. It was not a difficult experience, but I did end up suffering from daily nausea, minor headaches, and some fatigue. Staff were basically wonderful all around. First follow-up MRI in May and then the longer wait begins.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

PS - actually, I am not sure I can use this mask for mardi Gras...kind of stresses me just to look at it. And the idea of putting it on again is kind of a non-starter. ;-)

Congratulations - from a fellow FSR veteran.  I'm glad you're finished but sorry you experience the side effects.  I was fortunate enough to not have any of those, which was a pleasant surprise.  Well, now you're done.  My follow-up MRI scans (4 in two years post-FSR) showed the beginnings of both necrosis and shrinkage.  I trust you'll have similar results. 

As for the mask, I left it at the radiation facility and never thought about it again.  You may want to do the same.
