Good morning, Bob- Well, this is what you have been waiting for, TREATMENTS to begin! YAY! I had both Photon and Proton and I have no idea what my next one will be, probably in August sometime. I wish Liz the best in this! NSLC is definitely much better than SCLC!

Have you seen the machine?

Merry, I have not seen the photon generator they are using, Liz is the only one of us allowed in the treatment room. Her treatments last about 15 mins each day and the Radiology techs seem to know their stuff and are really taking good care of her needs she tells me.

Bob- Check out the photo at the bottom of the page

This is what my machine looked like at MGH in Boston, where I am cared for.
