NOVEMBER 24, 2014 - In prepping for my upcoming radiation, my center is having me come in now, almost 2 months before I actually start the treatment. The purpose is to officially "lock in" my body position and identify "targets" on my breast and back where the radiation actually is directed. They do this through complex imaging, proving just how precise this process really is. Then, 3 very small tattoos were placed on the inside and outside of my breast and on my back to ensure I lay down in the exact same position every time.

I have one more appointment before the actual sessions begin and in that one I'll do what they call a "dress rehearsal" of a radiation treatment. Stay tuned...
