That’s right; Pastor Terry has a tattoo, sort of. Yesterday
I went in to have my “markings” done for my upcoming radiation treatments. They
did three needle mark ink spots on my lower abdomen to mark the radiation area.
I think they’re permanent, but not sure. I’ll ask next time I go in. The magic
marker spots they used to line up the ink spots will eventually come off, but I
may have the “tat” for life.
My treatment schedule has been changed. Apparently, more
time is needed to get yesterday’s CAT scan back from the lab and to layout the
specific treatment area and dosage. So my first radiation treatment will be
Tue. June 25th @ 9 am. not Mon. June 17th.
I didn’t do real well with that. Yesterday was a hard
day. I was really disappointed that they had to change my start date. I’m doing
a little better today.
My emotions seem real fragile when I’m in that hospital
setting. Seeing myself in the hospital gown and laying on the CAT scan table
makes everything much more real. My head handles it ok, but it takes awhile for
my heart to settle in. I keep taking it to Jesus and He gives me His comfort
and peace; I realize His presence and it slowly seeps down into my heart.
Thanks
for caring and praying. Keep praying for complete healing and protection from
any and all side effects of the treatment.
