I started radiation treatment today! The plan is to treat five days a week for 27 sessions. The first session today went very well, and was about 30 minutes long. The sessions will shorten as I progress through the treatment. My doctors are expecting the first couple weeks of treatments to produce some swelling around the tumor causing headaches, fatigue and more seizures. Later in the therapy I may experience hair loss. I will possibly have speech problems at some time during the treatment, but the radiologist said that I could have a net improvement in my speech. This means that my speech may be better after the treatment than it was before I discovered the tumor.
1 down 26 to go!!!
The treatments are at 9:10 every morning, so please pray for me and the treatment team.
