Today the radiation technician said . . .

I went to the radiation place for the CT scan and tiny tattoos to mark the spots to 'shoot' me during the treatments. I will return in one week (Thursday at 11:30) for a 'dry run,' and then my radiation treatments will begin on the last Monday of the month, which seems like it will be the day after I move. That's fine, whatever time it is I will work around it. I'm told that the first few weeks I should not be bothered by much fatigue. It's more later in the treatments cycle and after, perhaps for many months, that fatigue should be an issue.

I thought I was supposed to be finding out today the time of my daily appointment. So much else rides on that time. Now the technician said that we can work out whatever time works for me, and on the day I have psychotherapy at 1:30 in Berkeley I can switch to another time. IF the time I choose conflicts with that appointment somehow.

Now my head's in a whirl and I can't remember as much as I used to, but here's what I took from what the technician said: Don't worry about it.

Oh, and she also said I tattoo easily. Faint praise, in my opinion.
