Radiation update

I met with my new doc today, Dr Grant who will be doing my radiation treatment. He seems like a great doctor. He had ordered an MRI that I had done earlier this week. He wanted to see if he could see anything that the PT scan may have missed last week. The MRI was just of my abdomen area. And he did find something! A really small tumor that is sitting right on a nerve next to my spine. That would explain the discomfort and the strange feeling I’ve been having in that area. He said he was confident that the radiation would take care of that tumor and help with the discomfort. I’m so relieved! It’s been more painful and nagging this week. I will start radiation on April 1st and go every other week day for 5 treatments at the cancer center at IMC. They will also radiate the tumor on my adrenal gland. Praying for good results and praying that the radiation doesn’t harm other nearby organs too much. This is always the risk with cancer treatments I guess. The side effects should be minimal🙏🏾 Brandon was geeking out at the appt by all of the modern technology and learning how radiation works:) it really is so amazing and I’m grateful for modern medicine everyday! The image above is very similar to what the radiation machine looks like that I’ll be using. 

Thanks for your prayers and good thoughts! I’d love to add you to my prayer list! Hit me up 🩷
