I just received a call from my radiologist. My treatments start tomorrow (Thursday, March 19). I will be receiving radiation 5 days a week. They currently have me scheduled for 28 treatments (through April 22). I am praying for as little damage as possible to the intestines and the kidneys. If there is too much damage to the kidneys, I may have to start dialysis.  I am also praying that I will be able to handle the side effects of radiation (fatigue, skin irritation, nausea and diarrhea). Typically, they give an oral version of folfirinox to make the radiation more effective. Because of my kidney problems, I can't have the chemo.
