We just got home from an appointment with my oncologist. After reviewing my reports from Mayo, he concurred with their recommended treatment plan - radiation without any chemo (chemo may do further damage my kidneys). My greatest fear was that it would take a couple of weeks to get in to see the radiologist. But God answered our prayers. Tomorrow, after meeting with the nurse and the doctor, I will have a radiation planning session. I have another radiation planning session on Thursday. I am not sure exactly when radiation will start or how long it will last. It will be 5 days a week. Mayo talked about 3 - 5 weeks. My oncologist this morning talked about 6 weeks. I'm sure I will learn more of the details when I talk to my doctor tomorrow.
