My Journey : Radiation Consultation Update

 Radiation Consultation Update

I just wanted to share a quick update with you all! On December 17, I met with Dr. David Graham, my amazing radiation doctor, at the Watson Cancer Clinic. I was blown away by the warmth, kindness, and compassion he and his staff showed me.

Dr. Graham took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I felt comfortable and prepared for what's ahead. Here's a quick rundown:

35 radiation treatments are coming up to target my neck and upper neck.
My skin will need some extra TLC during treatment, with regular moisturizing to manage changes.
I will develop mouth sores.
To make sure I'm getting the nutrients I need, I'll have a feeding tube connected to my stomach.
Before we get started, I need to have one of my teeth extracted to prevent any complications.
And, I'll be getting a custom-made mask to wear during radiation sessions!

Thanks for being part of my journey! I'll keep you all posted on my progress.
