Had consultation with radiation oncologist at UCLA on Friday. Long day, easy resolution. Treatment will again be one-time treatment of steriotactic radiosurgery. I will get a call to schedule the radiation set up once they get prior auth. from insurance. A special mask is made, then CT of the head with the mask on. Takes about 20 minutes.
Once set up is done, it will take about 2 to 3 weeks to create the plan from the set up CT scan, then I will be scheduled for treatment. So, in short, some time in April I will have treatment. There could be minor side effects from treatment like headache and/or nausea, but not likely. The strange and interesting thing is that if swelling were to occur, it wouldn't happen for about six months. Weird.
We are doing very well, and ready to get it on!
As always, thanks for your support.
