Re: Leave of absence :)
Jackie, I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! I will miss your posts...your info and comments are very helpful to us all. As far as the Novalis, I was a procedure nurse at a local cancer hospital, and am very familiar with it. I prepared and monitored patients with brain tumors that were receiving SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery). It's amazing to watch the doctors, dosimetrists and physicists working together to prepare the "plan" for the patients for treatment. The machine is amazing..You will do well! Looking forward to hearing from you, soon!
Hugs!
