Now the Gamma Knife is done it is time to tend to the back issues. We have a reoccurrence in the spine, which we knew already in the deep in our minds.

Areas for radiation are:

T1 through T8
C2 & C4

....might as well say the entire spine!

I just cannot stand this rollercoaster ride any longer. Since there is over a foot of snow here and the back roads are quiet, I know it is time for a scream ride. I am going to drive with blaring music on and cry loud as I can.

Then I will call back the OncoMan to see when our radiation is. I will be alright after my ride.>>Believe51

PS: I have a script for Xanax that I really need to start faithfully. Today will be my first faithful dose until I can get on an antidepressant. I keep saying that after this I'll start, then I find the strength, then I fall into a funk. Well, when am I going to start taking this??...No more falling and no more funks, I do not need to dog myself anymore. Marie's new regime, Xanax starting TODAY!!
