E1 CT Done

E1 finally got his CT done today. He also got a mold impression done today. From our understanding, E1 was positioned just right for the radiation to zap the cancer and then a mold was made of that exact position. That way, he'll be in the right position for every radiation session.

E1 will return for a doctor appointment on April 27th to finalize the treatment plan and have a "dry run" of the radiation treatment. Hopefully then we'll finally get a radiation schedule.

E1's cancer journey thus far has been frustratingly slow.

Here's his timeline so far . . .

February 19th - biopsy

March 5th - doctor appointment

April 8th - copper targets inserted

April 20th - CT

April 27th - doctor appointment and dry run of radiation

The earliest E1 will begin radiation is April 28th. So, from the point of the biopsy (not even from the point of his first doctor's appointment) to start of treatment will be well over 2 months!

In contrast, E. had his first doctor appointment (simply to complain about difficulty swallowing) on February 9th. A series of tests and appointments followed. He then began radiation and chemotherapy (the Reno treatment plan anyways) and finished it all on April 11th. So, from the point of his first doctor's appointment to the END of treatment was 2 months!

Frustrating!
