1st Zap

Had a brain MRI on Monday (4/13) and it showed that my brain was still clear. The results from the lung function test on Tuesday (4/14) were "great". So plan 2 (irradiate both the former and current areas of cancer) is in effect.

On Friday, using the radiation equipment, they took "pictures" of my right lung at may different angles. A program was then written to cover the areas in question with the required radiation dose.

This morning I went for my first treatment as I will be doing for 15 minutes every weekday for the next 6 1/2 weeks (until 6/3). It took longer to get me lined up on the table in the right location than it did to zap me.
